Bracelet before 1920

This silver bracelet, created by a Navajo (Diné) artist before 1920, showcases intricate craftsmanship and traditional design elements. The bracelet features a simple, curved form with a band that is adorned with two rows of decorative, engraved lines and wavy patterns, typical of Navajo silversmithing. Its size and elegant design suggest it was intended for personal adornment, reflecting the importance of jewelry in Navajo culture. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the history and artistry of the Navajo people.
