This striking tufa cast sterling silver cuff is the work of award winning Navajo artist Darryl Dean Begay, celebrated for his mastery of sculptural storytelling through traditional techniques. At the center of the bracelet, a mother bear walking with her two cubs is rendered in bold, tactile reliefan enduring symbol of protection, strength, and the deep bond of family. The figures move across a mountain landscape, grounding the scene in ancestral terrain, while paw prints along the lower edge echo the bears presence and path through the natural world. Set above the mountains is a natural Apache Blue Turquoise, its hue traditionally associated with celestial energyoften interpreted as the sun or the moon, bringing balance, guidance, and harmony to the piece. Hand cast using tufa stone, each surface bears organic texture and depth unique to this ancient method. No two cuffs are ever exactly alike, making this bracelet a singular, heirloom quality workrich in symbolism, craftsmanship, and cultural resonance. Inner Circumference of Bracelet: 5 1 4 in.
