Nice older shadowbox cuff. I tried to find out what the stamping represents, but struck out. They kind of look like fish but could it be rain? This could be Hopi but seems more Navajo. It’s stamped with “HW” or possibly “MH” viewed the other way - I was not able to identify an artist using either set of initials. Priority Mail Insured shipping is included at no extra charge.

Condition Notes: The oxidation has lightened in a patch next to the center piece of turquoise. There is either a heavy patina on this piece front AND back, or it was designed to be darker? The back is pretty uniformly dark, which makes me think it was done that way on purpose. I have not polished this. There are a few areas around the edges where it’s been handled and has lightened. There are also light scratches on the surface, typical for vintage pieces. Interestingly, one of the “fish” doesn’t have an outer eye or mouth, or whatever it is. Not sure if that’s significant.

Size note: This is somewhat thick but feels like it might be very slightly adjustable - I wouldn’t do it much, or more than once.

It measures 5-5/8” cuff + 1-1/8” gap

It’s 1” wide

It weighs 52g

Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to chemicals; try not to let a polishing cloth come into contact with the stones or oxidation, if you decide to polish it

Please view all photos so you can judge the condition - I took high-res photos so you can use the close-up function to see more details. Ask if you need additional photos or more info - I’m not an expert on these items, so I’m not sure if I’ve described everything a collector might want to know.

I list sales usually on Sunday evenings, sometimes on Thursdays, and BINs all week. I’m always happy to combine shipping if you can’t live without anything else I’m selling :) .

I have tried to accurately describe this item, but please ask if something is questionable. My items are generally vintage or in pre-owned condition, so please view all photos. This account is new, because after selling for several years, I took a break & closed my old one :( I had hundreds of sold items and 100% happy buyers, so you can offer/buy with confidence.

I will never pester you for response, but ask that if you are happy with your item and our transaction, please consider leaving it. If you have not had a good experience, please let me know right away and give me the opportunity to fix it.

If you plan to offer on or purchase more than one item, and requires immediate payment, I will figure out combined shipping and refund any overpayment. I do not charge extra for handling or supplies. My home is non-smoking and I pack carefully, and have never had an item break in shipping (I do re-use clean supplies where possible).

I will ship your item by the next business day (and Saturdays when possible) after receiving notice of payment, barring an extraordinary weather event. I try to offer more than one shipping option, so please select your preference. I will ship to the confirmed U.S. address associated with your payment account.
