A very heavy sterling and turquoise hand-made Native American cuff. This is one of the finest examples of Native American craftsmanship one is likely to come across in a cuff. The front of the cuff is set with nine stunning oval varieties of green Manassa Green turquoise, from Colorado all spaced with eighteen applied 'star' designs. The cuff is exceptionally thick and has a fabulous patina to the metal. The inside of the cuff is decorated with stamped patterns and arrows, typical of the Navajo tribe artisan work. This level and attention to detail can only be explained by an artist who took a huge amount of pride in their work. The piece likely dates from the latter part of the 20th Century, it is not signed.
