Vtg Andy Marion Signed Kokopelli Sterling 92.5 Paua Cuff Bracelet Navajo Estate:
$375.00

This piece comes from a \"lot\" I bought of native American sterling pieces -this Andy Marion piece came from the same lot.This piece is a signedA. Marionitem.Marked sterling. It measures5 1/4 inches long with a flexible ruler applied to the inside of the cuff.

Open cuff so you can tighten it up or open it wider BUT it is a very solid piece not easily flexible. It\'s 1 and 1/8inch wide one the widest end. The side with the Kokopelli measures 7/8 of an inch. Weighs43.8 grams. No clue how old.

The design displays a golden Kokopelli. I believe it is brass. Marion did use gold, silver, brass in his pieces. I tried to polish up the gold part and it does shine. If it turns out to be gold - good for you. It polishes up really nice but didn\'t do the whole thing - just wanted to test it for shine. Some folks like the patina. Only one I have.

Will come in a gift box suitable for gift giving - fully insured.

I did find some information on the web in regards to Marion:
