Etsitty-Tsosie, Eskiesosie (Dine 1880-1937) Navajo sterling silver Squash Blossom Necklace

Description

Etsitty-Tsosie, Eskiesosie (Dine, c.1880-1937) attrib. Silver Squash Blossom Necklace. One nearly identical sold as part of the C.G. Wallace Collection of American Indian Art . (1975: lot 215) Sotheby‘s Park Bernet. Then again Sep 18, 2020 at Cowan‘s for $8750 including BP. That one had the same identical stamps at the bottom of the discs. To me they were obviously both made by the same hand and it‘s very subjective which one is better. 21" long, other measurements in pictures. This is basically the same size/weight as the one previously sold.

Etsitty Tsosie was active from 1910-1937 and passed away in 1937. Best known for his beautiful stamp work and repousse pieces. He worked for trader C.G. Wallace for a period of time and was commissioned to produce stamps. He and Hosteen Goodluck worked closely together creating many of the early concho belts and other detailed pieces of jewelry. Several of his pieces were featured in the C.G. Wallace collection. Mentioned in the John Adair 1944 book, Eskiesose (C.G. Wallace‘s questionable spelling) preferred to work without strangers watching him, as he insisted his silver would not melt correctly.
