Description
Great design! Hand crafted pendant made through the overlay technique. Hopi overlay is constructed from two layers of sterling silver. A design is cut out with a jeweler’s saw by hand. This top design layer is then silver soldered to another sheet, the bottom layer, of silver. Texturing is added to the bottom layer in all the open areas of the design using a hammer and a small punch. The piece is then formed to its final shape and size. The bottom layer is then oxidized to enhance the design. Hopi artist Ambrose Namoki Sr. made this fabulous pendant out of sterling silver. The pendant has a satin finish and comes with a sterling silver 20″ chain. Weighs 4 grams. Signed.
1/2” wide x 1 1/8” long
Artist card included
