Beautiful, elegant inlaid cuff, likely dates to the 1950s-60s. Artist is unknown but on the back is written “The Nav Zu ho” with an etching pen. This is likely short for “Navajo, Zuni, Hopi.” Could it be the name of a shop? A former owner’s nickname? The mystery is tantalizing and deserves further research. Materials include gold lip shell, coral, jet (fossilized coal), mother of pearl, turquoise, and sterling silver. Weighs 34 grams and measures 5.5” tip to tip plus a 0.75” gap. Center of cuff is 1 5/8” wide.
