The Hopi Pueblo Sterling Silver Overlay Sunface Pendant/Pin is a traditional piece of Native American jewelry originating from the Hopi people of the American Southwest (primarily Arizona). Hopi artisans are renowned for their overlay technique, which involves soldering two layers of sterling silver together: the top layer is intricately cut and etched with designs, while the bottom layer is oxidized (darkened) to create dramatic contrast and depth. This method highlights symbolic motifs like the Sunface, making each piece both functional (as a pendant or pin) and spiritually significant.
