BRO77 Harpo silver brooch

Navajo brooch.

Hare in sterling silver, made with the overlay technique, whose body is chiseled with Native motifs.

The overlay is a jewelry technique in which two flat pieces of the same size are nested one on the other. The one on top is cut with a pattern and acts as a "stencil". It is applied to the bottom one, creating a silver background. This background is oxidized and scraped to create contrast between the two pieces.

The hare represents fertility, protection, good fortune and vigilance.

Size (L x W) : 3,7cm x 3,2cm

(1 inch 1/2 x 1 inch 3/8)

This brooch is in sterling silver.

Proudly handmade in the USA.
