Category: Jewelry | Posted by | Sat, May 20th 2017, 2:44pm
Winfield Humeyestewa is from the Hopi village of Mishongnovi on Second Mesa. He learned to make jewelry at the Hopi Silvercraft Cooperative Guild. The Guild was founded after World War II by artist Fred Kabotie to help unemployed veterans learn the art of silverwork.
This piece has traditional Hopi water and cloud symbols which are cut into one piece of silver and then overlaid onto another. It is an extremely good example of Hopi overlay work.
