Navajo silver bracelets, hers/his-from the silver man. First = trading post die cut & punched with beautiful wonkiness and turquoise setting 1930's/40's, the second is hand beaten and hand punched with more crude tools/result, whirling logs on cuff 1910-20. Thanks PA desert rat for the push on these!

Palette Plates

Set of four studio pottery plates, part of a larger group of ceramics from a Claremont estate, these have no date but the other pieces were mid to late 1960's. Color & crackle glaze over grey body stoneware (imprinted seal on base), thrown and trimmed well-they have a satisfying weight to them. From PCC yesterday.

PCC Tomorrow

Stragglers from the last few PCC runs. Hand woven blanket, coarse wool in two halves sewn together, a puzzler-eye dazzler maybe South American, the colors are beautiful/1940's steel weathervane/Awesome welded fire log loop/Zuni black ceramic animal fetish, bear. I can't stand the rain.
