FOSTER YAZZIE NAVAJO Sterling Silver Blue Turquoise Tufa Cast Cuff Bracelet 56gr

This is an exceptional Navajo sterling silver tufa cast and carved wide cuff bracelet by the very famous artist, Foster Yazzie. Part of this incredible bracelet is carved and contains impressive texture. The other part made with tufa. Tufa is a porous volcanic stone found in New Mexico and Arizona that is easy to cut and carve. In the casting process, a design is hand-carved into tufa stone, creating a negative space where molten metal, such as silver or gold, can be poured. After casting, the piece is refined and embellished by hand. The cuff bracelet is 1 2/8" wide at widest point, 7" long including 1 2/8" gap, with no clasp. Marked with a artist's hallmark. Bracelet comes in black velvet pouch
