Accents of natural turquoise cabochons highlight the jewelry, armbands, and belt, enhancing the sense of ceremonial regalia. Raised on a circular base inlaid with turquoise, the sculpture embodies both movement and spiritual presence, reflecting traditional Navajo silver-smithing and artistry. Hallmarked “Sterling Navajo” and “C”. Wilford Begay (Navajo) label to underside. The overall weight is 17.7 ounces.
