Alex Sanchez-Crown Dancer Pendant-Amazing Silver Art

When you visit New Mexico you will always remember the strong Native American influence in the Land of Enchantment. Whether it is a small Pueblo Tribe or a large Tribe like the Navajo, who’s Reservation is in three States. With such a large Native population you find lots of events that celebrate this diversity, from Apache Crown Dancer performances in the southern part of the State to the Squaw Dances of the Navajo in the north. Navajo silversmith Alex Sanchez has made one of these fascinating Crown Dancers from silver and turquoise. He uses a piece of deep blue Turquoise Mountain for the face, and raises a crown filled with symbols above. The piece is meant to be worn as a pendant and will give you a very unique look, one that shows your appreciation of a diverse People and incredible handmade art.
