Bernard Dawahoya (1936-2010) Hopi Overlay Kachina pin collection sterling silver. High quality, guaranteed authentic, collected and never worn with little to no wear. I was careful stacking them for the photos and they went straight into individual bags after the photos. These are a very fine and rare examples of why Bernard Dawahoya is one of the more celebrated Hopi silversmiths. Selling the 10 pins shown as there are no others. None of these have any damage or significant wear, they are al signed as shown. They range from 2.5"-3 1/8" tall each and average 14.7 grams each as the 10 are shown on a scale 147 grams.
Hopi artist Bernard Dawahoya was considered by all to be a master silversmith. His bold and clean designs along with the precise matting or texture he worked into the negative areas of this pieces, made his work easily recognizable. His Hopi name was Masaqueva (Wings of the sun). He was born in the second Mesa village of Shungopavi. Not only a master jeweler, but a respected storyteller and a man of great talents. He passed away in 2010. His work is displayed in Museums across the country and in many publications.
