DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful money clip! This piece of Native American jewelry is overlay Navajo hand crafted, by artist Raymond Begay, out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this money clip, the second layer forms a wonderful bear and bear paw design for a dazzling look. Money clip is stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.
A popular symbol in Southwest art, often seen as a fetish, in weavings, on pottery, and in silverwork, sometimes with a 'heartline', extending from the mouth to the center of the body.
An often used design in pottery and silverwork; often if the artist is of the bear clan, or, more generally, as a symbol of inner strength.
