Navajo Pendants (Larry Bill Tom)

The silver, circular pendant boast an abstract (light surface-dark subsurface) design which winds in between a green stone (a type of turquoise) and red coral. The maker’s name is stamped on the verso: “L. B. Tom”–noted Navajo silversmith Larry Bill Tom.

The six sided silver pendant bares a design that is created by a low relief (subsurface), textured and darkened, abstract design contrasting against the brighter, silver surface. Marked on the verso is “Navajo A”–perhaps the “A” is the maker’s initial(?)

These pendants can be worn by a female or male, youth or adult. The circular pendant diameter is 26mm; the measurements of the jagged pendant are approximately 41mm by 14mm (at the widest).
