Help identifying hallmark on Native American silver candlestick (found in Barcelona)

Hi. I found this candlestick at a market in Barcelona. I started researching it and it turned out to be by some Native American silver master. I couldn’t find anything else about it.

I’d like to identify the maker from the hallmark. I bought it by chance and I don’t think it can really be sold here in Europe. I don’t usually collect such items — I got it just out of curiosity.

 

why would a silver stick from a 1st Nations artist not be saleable .....?

oh....&....

Sorry, it’s just that in Europe, based on my experience, Native items are usually hard to sell, while in America they sell very quickly.

 

the sun is the Hopi Silvercraft Guild mark...

 

I'm from Canada , so don't know about USA sales....

 

Try a specialised Native American (sometimes together with Oceanic) auction on Catawiki. NA items usually sell well through them.

 

What an odd thing to find in Barcelona and how clever of you to have found it. Wonder how it got there in the first place.

Document as much as you can. It'll make an interesting provenance.

 

Interesting to see the Native American items todocoleccion.net has on offer.

Barcelona is an odd place to find Hopi silver! It probably went there in someone's baggage, either as a gift from an American or a souvenir from a trip to Arizona or somewhere similar.
