US NAVAJO 70 Hand Constructed Stamped Incised Repousse´ Dimensional Pin THE BEST

Description

Welcome!
I'm offering for your consideration a rare and stunning example of a pin made and signed by US Navajo 70. That stamp was used from 1935 to 1943 and it represents fine workmanship by Navajo artists who did not sign their individual names, so many try to determine from the workmanship which of the group made each piece. The 70 refers to the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild at Fort Wingate, New Mexico. Ambrose Roanhorse was teaching at Fort Wingate around this time and this piece is reminiscent of some of his work, but I do not know if he made it. It is extremely elegant and very fine. It incorporates several difficult techniques while having a perfection of simplicity in its appearance. I find it exceptionally gorgeous. These guilds were intended to create jewelry of fine, older, simplified design, excellent workmanship and also substantial silver weight and this pin represents those values.  There is an overall domed, repoussee´d or lozenge shape which is decorated around the frame with sawtooth stamp work. It is entirely hand constructed and I believe it is a unique example.
It measures 2-1/2" (6.35 cm)  tall x 1-1/8" (2.86 cm) wide and weighs 12 grams. It isn't marked for silver content, which is usual for that time, but it's guaranteed to be sterling silver. It is properly stamped as US Navajo 70 and it is in great vintage, wearable and collectible condition. The pin locking mechanism works fine.
This is a piece which goes with everything, can be worn daily and always will be distinctive, arresting and stunning. There's nothing more elegant and beautiful, so classic. Highly collectible and museum quality. It's a rare opportunity.
