Bracelet c. 1930

This silver bracelet, crafted by Navajo (Diné) artists around 1930, features a row of turquoise stones. The bracelet's simple design and use of turquoise are characteristic of Navajo silversmithing, which has a long and rich history. Turquoise, a sacred stone in Navajo culture, is often incorporated into jewelry and other ceremonial objects. This bracelet, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, exemplifies the traditional artistry of the Navajo people.
