Description
 

Victor Coochwytewa was one of three Native American elders chosen as Arizona Indian Living Treasures at the seventh annual AILTA award ceremony held in Phoenix in September 1994. This recognition is but one of the many accolades bestowed upon the Master Hopi Jeweler in a career spanning more than half a century. Decorated World War II Veteran (1922-2011). Victor retired from Hopi Silversmithing and his beloved farming in 2006. He continued living with his family at Hopi. Victor passed away at the age of 89 on July 3, 2011. An accomplished master Hopi jeweler and a humble man. Victor's work is not only amazing but highly collectable.

This is a special bracelet that was done in 1976 for the Kopavi shop in Sedona, AZ. They used the Bicentennial Liberty Bell as part of their artists hallmark to celebrate the USA Bicentennial. This lovely bracelet displays a Hopi figure overlay design with texture. There is a beautiful soft patina on the entire cuff.

Three hallmarks of Victor's. His (Rain Cloud), Bicentennial Liberty Bell and the Kopavi flute player stamp.

It measures 2" wide. It is a size 5 3/8" with a 1 1/8" opening.
