Eagle Dancer Cuff
Tribe: Hopi
Item #BR07913
This powerful sterling silver cuff by renowned Hopi artist Merle Namoki features an Eagle Dancer in full ceremonial regalia, surrounded by potent symbols of nature’s life-giving forces. The design depicts pahos (prayer feathers) at the dancer’s feet, while sweeping rainclouds, lightning bolts, and flowing water motifs evoke the arrival of a major storm, a sacred blessing in Hopi culture. At the side, the spirit of the eagle appears, a revered protector and messenger of prayer. The intricate overlay work and symbolic detail make this bracelet both a visual and spiritual tribute to the deep relationship between the Hopi people, the eagle, and the rain.
Part of the historic Kopavi Collection, this bracelet has never been previously owned.
