Alex Sanchez-Pony Hoof Cuff-Fascinating Design-L@@K

Navajo artist Alex Sanchez made this fascinating turquoise cuff. He calls it his hoof design. Alex takes a piece of round wire and hammers the heck out of it until he flattens the piece to create a unique bulging center design. This cuff he has shaped to give a wave look to the piece. In the center of the hoof wire bracelet is a piece of Kingman Turquoise. The deep blue Kingman stone has a water web matrix and looks right at home on the narrow wire. Alex has filed the side of the flattened wire with his rock symbols, a great touch. You will find a dragonfly, healing hand, turtle, cross, planets, and circle of life symbols. What a great way to show off your appreciation of unique handmade Native American art.
