Ketoh c. 1930

"Ketoh" is a silver and turquoise concho, created by a Navajo artist around 1930. The piece features a geometric design with a central turquoise stone, characteristic of Navajo silversmithing during this period. Conchos, often used as decorative elements on clothing and accessories, showcase traditional Navajo artistic motifs and represent the intricate craftsmanship of Diné artists. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this significant example of Native American art, offering insight into the cultural and artistic heritage of the Navajo people.
