For your enjoyment we present a vintage Hopi overlay bracelet by multiple award winning artist and Arizona Indian Living Treasure, Bernard Dawahoya. This bracelet features a sterling silver Sunface overlay design with near perfect cut outs and lines. A textured background was created using an etching technique, and it was then darkened to emphasize and add contrast to the design. The smooth sterling silver cuff finishes the piece off nicely.
