Trying to ID heavy hand-made sterling cuff w/ chased or overlay design

I'm trying to figure out who/what group made this heavy silver cuff which tests as sterling. I had presented it to the group before as possiby Hopi but got a few other ideas and a request for more pics. I couldn't figure out how to reply to my original post and add images so I had to start anew.

The designs are crisply outlined and I felt the center panel had bird head motifs.No marks, smooth inside but you can see "shadows" of the rounded forms which appear on the face.

Sure would appreciate any input, in fact, "Any Jewelry" did have some thoughts and was hoping to see more pics.

Hi you can tag someone with the @ sign.

 

I am fairly positive it is Native American and it looks like some of the fine examples of the Navajo people, such as Nora and Emerson Bill, as well as their daughter, Elvira.

Very intriguing! One cuff you linked to is signed, the other does not state. I'll look into the work of the Bils and see if it seems to be theirs. Thanks so much!

 

Thanks for finding the thread. I had located it a few days ago but couldn't find the normal link to upload a file so I gave up and restarted today.

 

Just to clarify, I was not presuming it to be the actual work of one the the Bill family members, but thought they offered excellent examples of the style of your piece.

 

No maker's mark doesn't help to identify.Could have been made by a 1960'70's snowbird at any number of locations in the SW.Student/hobbyist,etc., hobbyist copied/reproduced many pieces featured in Arizona Highways magazine in the 70/80's

 

Thanks for the extra photos, Tracy. I agree with you, it looks to have age. But it is still a beautiful mystery to me.

Given the combination of a pre-Columbian theme with an older bracelet, it is closer to Hopi overlay, as Tracy thought before. Older Navajo overlay is more those abstract geometric patterns, like the nice pieces in your links, so different. But, as I mentioned in the first thread, I don't see the texture of the lower layer I expect to see on Hopi overlay.
