Bracelet 1900 - 1910

This silver bracelet, created by Navajo (Diné) artists between 1900 and 1910, features a turquoise stone set within a decorative band of intricate, repoussé designs. The bracelet is a fine example of the craftsmanship and artistry of the Navajo people, who have a long and rich tradition of silverwork. The use of turquoise, a stone with spiritual significance in many Native American cultures, is also a characteristic feature of Navajo jewelry. The bracelet is currently held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
