This is an original, rare and detailed sterling silver and turquoise running horses effigy large bracelet / cuff with immense detail from Navajo / Dine artist, Richard Singer. Richard Singer is a third-generation Navajo artist from Standing Horse Mesa on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. Richard is of the Ta’neeszahnill (Tangle) Clan, born for the Kinyaa’a’snii (Tower House) Clan. Richard’s grandfather, Tsinnigine Hathali, was a Navajo Medicine Man and silversmith. He taught his son Thomas “Tommy” Singer the art of silversmithing beginning at the age of seven. Thomas Singer went on to become a Master Silversmith and renowned artist. As a child, Richard watched his aunts, uncles, and father complete beautiful creations from silver and stone in both inlay and overlay pieces. But it wasn’t until 1989, at the age of 20, when he began to seek other means of income to make ends meet that he took up an apprenticeship in his father’s trade. This example is stamped / signed, “R. Singer (feather) 925”. The bracelet shows a wide and large cuff bracelet in a classic Tommy Singer / Richard Singer pattern showing an old style stamped border with carved design down the body with running horses, four in total, alogn with carved shrubbery, a sun, clouds and bluffs. Amazing piece in like new condition. Measures 2 5/8” by 2” by 1 5/8”. Total weight of 54.7 grams.
