Description
 

This lovely bracelet is the work of well-known Hopi artist Ralph Tawangyaouma. Ralph Tawangyaouma was actively making jewelry from 1906 into the late 1960’s. He was known for his unique style in jewelry, not always traditional overlay Hopi style. He was a very spiritual man and was a Two-Horned Priest in his Hotevilla Village. He worked for a period of time in Phoenix Arizona as a silversmith for Fred Wilson’s TP and Vaughn’s. His work is highly collectable and adored by many!

This unique cuff offers the best of Ralph's amazing abilities as an artist and also a vintage piece of history. A smooth bezel holds a colorful Petrified Wood stone. This stone has deep orange and black patterns. Set on a tri-wire shank, with 2 twist wires in the center. Beautifully stamped silver ornaments are placed on the sides.

The center of the cuff measures 1 3/8" wide, tapering to 1/2" at bottom terminals. The inside measures 5 3/8" with a 1" opening. Slightly adjustable. The cuff is hallmarked with Ralph’s rain cloud and H.
