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?
Hopi/Navajo Sterling Silver Petroglyph Design Bracelet - Kee Yazzie Jr. (#61)
$375.00
Artist: Kee Yazzie Jr.
opening: 6 1/2"
Opening: 1"
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.
