Hand-Stamped Navajo Style Silver Cuff Bracelet

This item is a wide, heavyweight cuff bracelet representative of traditional Navajo (Dine) silversmithing. It is constructed from a thick gauge of metal, appearing to be sterling silver or coin silver, featuring a deep, hand-stamped repoussé-style geometric pattern. The design consists of central recessed sunburst or eye motifs surrounded by serrated borders and zig-zag chevron patterns. The metal exhibits a significant darkened patina, particularly in the recessed areas, which serves to emphasize the depth and detail of the stamped ornamentation. Hand-hammered textures are visible on both the interior and exterior surfaces, indicating a high level of manual craftsmanship. The condition shows moderate wear with minor surface scratches and indentations consistent with age and use. While no specific maker’s mark is visible in the provided image, the weight and complexity of the stamping suggest a mid-20th-century origin or a high-quality contemporary piece made using traditional methods. The cuff has an open-back design for adjustable sizing and maintains a robust, heavy-duty structural integrity.
