Bracelet c. 1950

This silver bracelet, crafted by a Navajo (Diné) artist around 1950, features a striking turquoise stone set within a band of intricate geometric designs. The use of turquoise, a stone deeply significant in Navajo culture, is a testament to the artist's connection to their heritage. This piece exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship and artistry that continue to be passed down through generations of Navajo artists, blending contemporary aesthetics with ancient traditions. The bracelet, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Native American art and its impact on the broader art world.
