This is a beautiful hair clip by legendary Hopi artist, Marcus Coochwikvia.
Marcus is from the village of Mishongnovi on the Hopi Mesa reservation and has been making jewelry since 1973. His attention to detail and intricate designs set him apart. He was born on May 30, 1951 and is a member of the Bear Clan.
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.
