This 1960s eara bracelet made by a Diné of the Navajo Nation artist  features a lovely oval cabochon of petrified wood set in a handmade bezel which is attached to a platform that is accentuated with small silver spirals and drops. On either side of the center platform are two stamped fan-shaped sections which are set on a shank of three silver bands. The Diné - bracelet is unsigned and was made in the 1960s.
