The lot features an excellent tufa cast sterling silver bracelet or cuff from amazing Navajo Native American Indians silversmith artist, Raymond Begay. The bracelet has a heavy sterling silver construction and is stamped, “Sterling Ray B”. The bracelet is made using the very unique Tufa casting method, a method used by some of the first Navajo silver makers in the 1870’s. Tufa Casting Sterling Silver gives a fine stippled finish, much like Old Pawn jewelry and is widely collectible due to its heavy construction. This bracelet shows Tufa casting with a raw hammered like finish having slight stamping with polished effigy figures including a bear heart line, bear claw paw, and strong southwest blanket like pattern. The bracelet measures overall 7” long inside circumference wrist size including the opening (the opening by itself measures 1 1/8”W) by 1”W.
