Description
 

This lovely cross is the work of well-known Hopi artist Ralph Tawangyaouma. Ralph Tawangyaouma was actively making jewelry from 1906 into the late 1960’s. He was known for his unique style in jewelry, not always traditional overlay Hopi style. He was a very spiritual man and was a Two-Horned Priest in his Hotevilla Village. He worked for a period of time in Phoenix Arizona as a silversmith for Fred Wilson’s TP and Vaughn’s. His work is highly collectable and adored by many!

This beautiful cross offers the best of Ralph's amazing abilities as an artist and also a vintage piece of history. This beautiful silver designed cross is set with 6 natural turquoise stones.

The cross measures 2 1/2" tall, including bail by 1 5/8" wide. Hallmarked with Ralph’s rain cloud and H.
