OLD PAWN VINTAGE OVERLAY STORYTELLER PUEBLO SCENE NECKLACE

HOPI NAVAJO COLLAR BIBHANDMADE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE OF A KIND STERLING SILVER OVERLAY COLLAR NECKLACE WITH THREE INTRICATELY DETAILED SEPARATE PLATES. THE CENTERPIECE IS A CHARMING, FASTIDIOUSLY CUT OUT SCENE OF A PUEBLO AT NIGHT WITH A MOON IN THE SKY AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE CHIMNEYS ON TOP OF THE HOUSES. THE BUILDINGS ARE COMPLETE WITH ARCHITECTURAL DECORATION, LADDERS, DOORS, WINDOWS AND IN THE FOREGROUND THERE IS EVEN DETAIL SHOWING BLADES OF GRASS, AND A SMALL DOG OR COYOTE! THIS IS TRULY A WARM, AND INVITING DESIGN, DEPICTING THE TIMELESS THEME OF \"HOME.\" ITS NO WONDER WHY THE PUEBLO SCENE-THEMED JEWELRY IS SO SOUGHT AFTER AND COLLECTIBLE, WHAT\'S NOT TO LOVE?

THE TWO SIDE PLATES COMPLIMENT AND CONTRAST THE CENTER WITH A BEAUTIFUL ABSTRACT MAZE PATTERN. THEY WERE CAREFULLY CUT TO MATCH ALMOST PERFECTLY. ONE THING THAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE OVERLAY WORK BY THIS ARTIST IS THAT THE BLACKENED BACKGROUND IS VERY SMOOTH, NOT ETCHED LIKE MANY HOPI ARTISTS. BECAUSE OF THIS UNIQUE FEATURE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS TRADITIONAL HOPI STYLE, THAT THE ARTIST COULD BE NAVAJO. AFTER EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH IN ALL THE BEST SOURCES ONLINE AND IN PRINT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THE HALLMARK ON THIS PIECE. HOWEVER, I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC VINTAGE NATIVE AMERICAN PIECE BY AN ARTIST THAT DID EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY WORK AT A VERY ACCOMPLISHED LEVEL OF EXPERTISE. (SEE MY OTHER LISTING FOR THE SQUASH BLOSSOM MEDALLION NECKLACE BY THE SAME ARTIST).

THIS NECKLACE HANGS ON A CHAIN MADE OF HANDCRAFTED LINKS, ALL SOLDERED CLOSED. THE LENGTH IS ADJUSTABLE TO BE MADE SHORTER BECAUSE THE HOOK CAN ATTACH TO ANY LINK ON THE CHAIN.
