This lovely cast silver Yei and turquoise naja was made by Navajo silversmith Ambrose Lincoln (1917-1989). Ambrose was a teacher at the Santa Fe Indian School in 1942. He was an award-winning silversmith and worked with Trader C.G. Wallace, and Trader Charles Kelsey in Zuni, NM. Ambrose Lincoln was also a veteran of WWII and died in 1989. His work is always well made and is a wonderful addition to any collection.

This Naja measures 2” wide by 2 1/8” tall. There is an open hook for a chain along with the pin. This piece is signed with his unique hallmark, an A inside a keystone shape.
