Navajo artist, Robert Taylor, has made a name for himself in the world of Native American Indian art. His attention to detail and extraordinary silversmithing skills place him at the top of his craft. Having been raised on the Navajo reservation, Robert draws inspiration from his early home and family life. As a young boy, Robert, was allowed the opportunity to ride his horse across the wide-open spaces of his homeland. Rug weaving was something his mother and grandmother did on a daily basis. Surrounded by the ceremonial basket motif, Robert proudly shares his heritage through this pendant. The degree of difficulty associated with this work of art is extreme, but Robert handles such things with ease.

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?
