• Item# 0178J Lawrence Saufkie, Hopi

    This artist is considered one of the leaders among Hopi craftsmen whose work is part of this flourishing market of exquisite jewelry. This is noted in Theda Bassman's "Treasures Of The Hopi", page 12. This piece is a silver overlay belt buckle with two bears and a water design above. Overlay is a two-layer silver technique in which two pieces of silver are formed into flat pieces of the same shape. A design is cut into the top piece with a jewelry saw; the bottom piece is textured and oxidized with liver of sulphur, turning it black. Then the two pieces are soldered together, with the cut-out design as the top. This piece can be purchased alone or in combination with ITEMS# 0179J and 0180J.
