Bidspirit auction | Silver Hopi Native American Oval

Silver Hopi Native American Oval Pendant - This silver pendant features a modernist geometric design executed in the traditional Hopi overlay technique. The oval-shaped piece is constructed from two layers of silver: a top layer with a cutout design and a textured bottom layer. The cutout motif consists of a sharp triangle and a stylized fret or Greek key pattern. The recessed areas of the design feature a finely stippled, darkened background texture that provides contrast to the polished raised surfaces. On the reverse, the pendant bears an impressed mark consisting of two right-angled lines resembling an inverted L above a standard L; this monogram is not legible as a name. The pendant is fitted with a simple wire jump ring for suspension.
