Nice Navajo tufa cast textured Kiva design bracelet. The silversmith has done a tufa cast which cut out the repeat Kiva designs. The tufa cast causes the Kivas to appear overlaid, but the whole face is all one piece. The artist has come back to stamp the Thunderbird symbols (could be plants) in center of each kiva. The half kivas make me thing running water which in turn leads me to say plant symbols? Your guess is as good as mine. The inside of the cuff is polished smooth with rounded ends.

The bracelet measures 3/4” wide and holds an inner circumference of 5 3/4” plus a 1” opening. It will fit a 6 5/8” to 6 3/4” as is and is somewhat flexible so it would fit up to a 6 7/8” wrist. It weighs 26.6 grams and is stamped RB - STERLING. We attribute the bracelet to Navajo silversmith Robert Begay based of fact of Tufa cast design which he specializes in. $174.95
