Bernard Dawahoya Silver Bracelet - Bernard Dawahoya (Hopi, 1937-2010). A Hopi silver overlay cuff bracelet featuring a wide band with an open gap. The exterior is decorated with a continuous diagonal fret pattern, often identified as a water or Greek key motif, executed through the traditional silver overlay process where a hand-cut top layer is soldered to a darkened and textured base layer. The piece shows characteristic silver oxidation within the recessed design and a high-polish finish on the raised surfaces. 46 grams. 2 1/2” diameter.
