Early 1900's Navajo Ingot Copper Bracelet

Using just four hand-carved steel stamps and a 1/4" square drawn ingot copper wire 'bar', the artist who made this, created a bracelet worthy of a Santos halo!

With hammer and file, the face and side stamp work were sculpted for a varied, dramatic and unusual effect.

This marvelous, very early 20th century cuff was made by an innovative master of 100 years ago.  Though soft wear overall testifies to its considerable age--this handsome cuff holds its own with any jewelry of today !

"Unknown artist" is appropriate when a work of art is unsigned and a supported opinion about who made it is not available (on Savvy Collector).. "Attributed to" precedes the name of an artist when information suggests that it likely was made by that artist (on Savvy Collector).
