Rug Inspired Sterling Silver Belt Buckle by reknowned Navajo Jeweler Dan Jackson
Item Number: 224
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Imagine if your mother had been a weaver and your father had been a silversmith and how this would have influenced your life? Navajo Jeweler, Dan Jackson shares what he learned from his father who worked with silver until he was 95 years old. The rug designs which he meticulously etches into silver come from his mother's weavings.
The buckle measures 3" wide and 1 3/4" high.
DAN JACKSON's stamped signature on his jewelry says a lot about the man. His stamp is the hogan, the traditional home of the Navajo--a gift to the Dine by First Man. This round structure of earth and wood embodies the framework of Navajo life: the circular nature of life. Dan brings this notion of balance and tradition to his extraordinary silver etchings.
His jewelry is consistently honored at juried shows. He has won awards and ribbons at Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, Window Rock Tribal Fair, the NM State Fair, Arizona State Fair and the Shiprock Fair in Shiprock, NM.
Perhaps you will continue his family's legacy by bidding on this buckle that is truly a work of art and is part of a long proud heritage.
