This very large and very beautiful Tobacco flask offers the unique and creative designs of Navajo artist Kenneth Begay. Kenneth Begay (1913–1977) was called the "father of modern Navajo jewelry" for his innovative modern designs. Although his career began from the traditional jewelry teachings of Fred Peshlakai, Kenneth took his talent beyond those early lessons. He created elegant, clean designs with balance and beauty!

This amazing flask won a blue (First Premium) ribbon at the Arizona State Fair in 1948. The delicate stamp work radiating from the repousse in the center and the perfect twist wire surrounding the flack are perfection only Kenneth Begay could produce. We've left the aged silver as is and found a very small ding on the bottom of the smooth silver. Can't see it but can feel it. This wonderful flask has a hefty weight of 348 grams. The flask measures 6 1/4" including top with lid by 5 1/2" wide and approx. 2 1/2" thick. It does not have a hallmark, but the ribbon does have his name along with the Judges name (James Stevens), and date.
