Allan Chee Navajo Sterling Silver Eagle Motif Cuff Bracelet with Turquoise and Coral - A Navajo sterling silver cuff bracelet featuring elaborate three-dimensional applique work. The central design consists of an eagle rendered with outstretched wings, including a distinct, separate fan-shaped wing piece attached to the main body. The piece is further embellished with hand-stamped feather details, wirework scrolls, and silver beads. It contains one oval turquoise cabochon and one small rectangular red coral cabochon, both set within serrated bezels. On the interior of the cuff, the silversmith signature is incised in cursive script reading Allan Chee above a block-letter impressed mark reading STERLING. Interior width: 2.5 inches Weight: 2.426 ozt. The bracelet exhibits generalized tarnish across the silver surfaces (photos 1, 2, 4, 7). There is a significant loss where one gemstone is missing from its serrated bezel on one side of the eagle motif (photo 4). Light surface scratches and wear consistent with age and use are present on both the interior and exterior silver surfaces (photos 5, 6, 8).
