Description

This unique hand-wrought, sugar cube tong is attributed to Navajo artist Austin Wilson. Beautiful and familiar stamping graces the entire piece.

Austin Wilson was active between 1920 and 1942 and was known to have worked at Zuni for trader C. G. Wallace and trader Charles Kelsey. Wilson's stamp-work was precise with superior craftsmanship in his work. He was a master jeweler from this early era. Wilson was especially known for ashtrays, barware and other decorative utensils.

The tongs measure 5 1/2" long by 3/4" at the widest point. Not hallmarked. Look closely at the very fine stamp work.
