This beautifully crafted bracelet is Navajo work. C: 1960's/70's. The bracelet is set with a beautiful natural Morenci turquoise stone. This bracelet has a shadow box design with very pretty file and stamp work. Hallmarked with his conjoined HC.
This lovely bracelet comes from a family collection, with personal connections to the Navajo - Hopi TP on Rte. 66 in Flagstaff AZ (owners), Gallup NM Mercantile, Dean Kirk TP in Manuelito NM and Tobe Turpen's TP in Gallup, NM. There is etching on the back side from the previous owner for identification. Not hallmarked which was common during this era, but the precise workmanship shows a master artist.
The top of the bracelet center measures 1 1/4" wide, tapering to 3/4" on end terminals. The inside measurement is 5 3/8" with a 1" opening. Just beautiful on!
