Hopi overlay is a distinct Native American silversmithing technique developed in the late 1930s/1940s, featuring two sterling silver layers. The top layer has a hand-cut, intricate design, which is soldered onto a bottom layer that is oxidized (blackened) and textured to create high contrast, resulting in a matte background with a polished foreground.
