Allen Aragon #52901

$450.00

I feel so fortunate to be working directly with Allen Aragon. He is such a remarkable talent. This new piece is a handmade sterling silver necklace (double twisted silver) with an incredibly detailed pendant – hand stamped and painted clays. It is kiln fired with underglaze, and then fired and embedded onto the silver. The detailed painting is extraordinary. Using Native symbols, this is a stunning creation. This pendant portrays a rainbow Navajo Yei bichei (Yébîchai). The silverwork around the painted clays, is also elaborate with seven raised dots of silver as a lower border, and three more on top. Added flowing silver work on both sides of the pendant add to tis beauty. It is meant to be worn as a choker.

16” length on chain with extension to 18”

Navajo

We are so pleased to exhibit new work by Navajo artist, Allen Aragon.
Born in Ganado, Arizona, Allen was raised on a ranch near Chaco Canyon. He would go each month to weaving auction with his mother, an accomplished weaver. Surrounded by art, he became fascinated with the pottery that the women were bringing to sell. Allen has created a remarkable art form. To create this unique jewelry, Allen paints intricate abstract and animal images on pieces of pottery. He then fires them and sets each one in sterling silver to create beautiful pendants, earrings, rings, bolo ties and concho belts. Each piece of jewelry is truly one of a kind. He has received many top awards at SWAIA Indian Market in Santa Fe, at the Heard Museum Indian Market in Phoenix, at the Tesoro Foundation Market in Denver and many more shows.
