Diné Sterling Silver Deep Bowl Ashtray with Raincloud Designs [SOLD]

This almost round Diné sterling silver ashtray is elegant in its simplicity.  The design around the rim is comprised of a continuous band of rain clouds. In the center of the bowl the design is a beautiful spray that has a kaleidoscope feel—it would change design if you rotated it.  Of course, it does not change, but the feeling is there. This is a very well designed bowl. Two cigarette holders were added with radiating designs of their own.

Condition: this Diné Sterling Silver Deep Bowl Ashtray with Raincloud Designs is in very good condition

Provenance: from the extensive collection of silver objects from a client in Washington, DC
