1980s Navajo Wave Overlay Cuff
Tribe: Navajo (Diné)
Item #BR10131
1980s Navajo Sterling Silver Overlay Cuff Bracelet with a continuous band of cresting wave designs across the face. The waves are cut from the top layer of silver and set over a textured, oxidized background. The design is framed by raised ridged borders along both edges. Near each end, three stamped crescent sunbursts trail off from the waves. Hallmarked with the artist’s “T” and crescent mark. Handcrafted by Navajo artist, Tommy Singer. Good overall condition with age-related wear and a soft patina.
Wave and water designs appear often in Southwestern silverwork, where they are commonly associated with water, rain and the flow of life.
