This broach is the product of a conversation with Navajo artist Robert Taylor concerning the Peace Medals the U.S. government passed out to Native tribes who were acting according to policy. Robert thought it would be fun to make a medal such as the Navajo might pass back to a general or the president. The scene on the pin depicts a Navajo free to move about his homeland enjoying nature and the peace and solitude he was once so familiar with. Robert thinks this medal would look nice on a military uniform, suit or a woman's Gingham dress.

About the artist:
Robert Taylor - Silver & Goldsmith:
"Cluster, channel, leaf, inlay, casting... I've done about everything," Robert Taylor talks about his silver and goldsmithing, "There's a lot of artists that do it." And then he confides the reason he has set himself apart from other craftsmen. "I didn't really get anywhere until I decided to design my own style."

When and how the Navajo acquired the art of working metals is unknown but there are reasons for supposing that it was introduced among them, or at least more developed and improved upon by them, since the time they have occupied their present country?
