Featured in this lot are these Navajo Sterling Silver Earrings from Navajo Diné artists, Tommy and Rosita (Rose) Singer. The earrings features a wonderfully and professionally crafted sterling silver construction that shows the likeness of a horse looking forward. Tommy Singer (1940- 2014) was a Navajo silversmith who specialized in chip-inlay jewelry. Singer was a member of the Navajo Nation from Winslow, Arizona. There he perfected his craft working on the Navajo reservation in a small studio surrounded with his family and other tribal members. Beginning at the age of seven, he was taught silversmithing by his father. Ultimately, he came to use turquoise or coral chips in his silverwork. His chip inlay technique became widespread in his community. He also incorporated stamps and overlay work. The earrings are marked 'T&R Singer'' for the hallmark with 'Sterling'. The condition of these earrings is good with no obvious damage. Measurement are 2"L x 1"W, weight is 9.9 grams.
