This Navajo cuff sets three square turquoise stones in plain bezels across an openwork silver band. The central motif is a whirling log, a traditional Southwest symbol of wellbeing used on Navajo silver before 1940, here worked in openwork and surrounded by stamped fan and sunburst accents. The turquoise is a natural blue green, matched across the three square stones, set against the darkened recesses of the stamp work.
Larry Frank was a Taos collector and scholar, co-author of Indian Silver Jewelry of the Southwest 1868 to 1930 and New Kingdom of the Saints.
