Flute Procession Cuff

Sterling Silver Flute Procession Bracelet by Beauford Dawahoya (Hopi), Late 1980s.

This elegant sterling silver cuff by Beauford Dawahoya features a repeating procession of stylized flute players, each figure containing rain cloud motifs within their bodies, a symbol of ceremonial prayer for rain. These flute players are depicted as Two-Horn Priests, spiritual figures in Hopi tradition associated with sacred rituals, guidance, and rain blessings. The flute player is one of the most enduring and sacred figures in Hopi culture, often linked to fertility, growth, and the spiritual connection between music and nature. Dawahoya’s masterful overlay technique and rhythmic composition give this piece a lyrical, almost meditative quality.

Part of the historic Kopavi Collection, this bracelet has never been previously owned.
