This lovely cast silver naja was made by Navajo silversmith Ambrose Lincoln
(1917-1989). Ambrose was a teacher at the Santa Fe Indian School in 1942. He
was an award-winning silversmith and worked with Trader C.G. Wallace, and Trader
Charles Kelsey in Zuni, NM. Ambrose Lincoln was also a veteran of WWII and died
in 1989. His work is always well made and is a wonderful addition to any
collection.
This Naja measures 2 1/4” wide by 2 7/8” tall. The beautiful silver beads adds the final touch to this necklace. This piece is signed with his
unique hallmark, an A inside a keystone shape.
