Several layers of heavy-duty sterling silver plate make-up this artsy bracelet by Navajo artist Kee Yazzie Jr. With much hoopla about silver and gold-smithing, Kee has constructed a bracelet for the centuries. To wear this arm band out would take a highly concentrated effort indeed. With a torch, a dimpling hammer and a genius for design and creativity, Kee has placed hand, goat and duality symbols in a cuff for all to admire and appreciate. To wrap this bracelet about your wrist is to experience a cleverness of imagination and a bold depiction of ancient imagery.

Hopi/Navajo Sterling Silver Petroglyph Design Bracelet - Kee Yazzie Jr. (#61)

Kee Yazzie is a gatherer; he accumulates Southwestern designs of ancient and historical significance and manipulates them to fit his wearable art. The design on this bracelet came from a spiral petroglyph pattern found on local rock art and a modified snake pattern from a Hopi/Tewa pottery shard. Kee also dimpled and textured the surface for an antique appearance. Way cool.
