J1799 Ring of Feathers Pin
Tufa cast sterling silver pin by Navajo silversmith Dale Begaye. The ring of feathers is 1 3/4”.
Dale Begaye was resident silversmith at Shades of the West for many years, and designed silverwork solely for the Anselm Collection
Tufa casting is a technique of pouring molten silver into a tufa stone mold and letting it harden into a given form. The mold is only used once; therefore each item is an original piece.
