This silver bracelet, crafted by an anonymous Navajo artist around 1925, showcases the artistry of the Diné people. The piece is a classic example of Navajo jewelry, featuring a central turquoise stone set in a silver band with intricate geometric designs. The turquoise, a cherished material in Navajo culture, adds a vibrant splash of color to the piece and embodies the connection between nature and human artistry. This bracelet, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, reflects the enduring tradition of Navajo silversmithing.
