Antique Native American Sandcast bracelet, Navajo sandcast bracelet, 1940's Navajo cuff (ML34)

This vintage treasure has a great story. When Alice was a young girl, her family made a road trip from IL to New Mexico. It was there, on the side of the road, that her mother got to talking with a Native woman who had girls about the same age as Alice. This woman, who Alice states was from Kewa Pueblo (last name Coriz), asked Alice’s mother if she could send some clothes when Alice outgrew them. This started a years long exchange which included clothing going to New Mexico and jewelry coming back as thank you gifts in return! This is one of those pieces!The provenance on this piece is fantastic as is its quality and character. It is very rare to get such a beautiful piece with an amazing story. Alice is now elderly and has asked me to find great homes for her treasures.
