When creating channel inlay jewelry, artists set precisely cut gemstones into pre-formed silver channels. The technique allows artists to use colorful combinations of gemstones in complex and creative patterns. Channel inlay requires masterful silversmithing and lapidary skills and is utilized by Native American jewelers to create magnificent jewelry pieces recognized for their craftsmanship and beauty as art.

15th/16th century Vellum Antiphonal leaf. This is on Vellum/hide. There are some tears but it's stable in the frame. For some weird reason there is clear tape on the back of the glass and a little on the front, possibly they taped the two panes together and over time the tape degraded a little, still it displays well. Slightly illuminated in the picture shown. 22.5" x 16" framed.The origins of liturgical music traditionally date back to St. Gregory the Great (d. 604), who was inspired by the Holy Dove to record the principles of 'Gregorian' chant. The Gradual contained the musical parts of the Missal and was sung from the steps (gradus) of the altar. The Antiphoner contained the musical sections of the Breviary. These terms have become interchangeable in modern times. Because of their size and complexity, these manuscripts were still being handmade in the traditional way for centuries after the introduction of printing. They were boldly hand-written and illuminated on large sheets of sturdy vellum so that the entire choir could read from one book.

With a<br>variety of finishes – textured, polished, matte, darkened – and meticulous<br>workmanship, these intricate designs take on a very contemporary, urban allure.<br><br>Dan says, “I learned silverwork from my father, who worked with silver until he<br>was 95. The rug designs on my (jewelry)…come from my mother’s weavings….I<br>continue the heavy silverwork of my father.” His hallmark signature on his<br>jewelry is the Hogan, the traditional home of the Navajo—“a gift to the Dine by<br>First Man. This round structure of earth and wood embodies the framework of<br>Navajo life: the circular nature of life. All things are alive and composed of<br>two parts–it is the joining of these two parts which make the whole and thus<br>create balance and harmony.” Dan brings this notion of balance and tradition to<br>the meticulous silver of his jewelry.<br><br>Dan learned silversmithing from his father, John Nez Begay, who made jewelry for<br>over 80 years, and lived to be 106 years old. His mother, Bernice Charlie, was a<br>weaver and is the source of Dan’s inspirations. He tells of his mother visiting<br>him in a dream, where she stirred him to create his now famous triple overlay<br>rug design jewelry.<br><br>Dan’s formal education is in engineering. He worked for the Bureau of Indian<br>Affairs for 20 years. After being injured in 1985, Dan needed another way to<br>support his family (4 daughters). Being an accomplished silversmith, it only<br>made sense to him to devote his time to making jewelry.<br><br>Dan consistently collects awards and accolades at juried art shows, such as<br>Santa Fe Indian Market.

Rebecca Collins Cast Oxidized sterling silver angel pin 29.8 grams 2" from toe to wing, the world renowned Dallas Texas artist that created this is now retired and no longer creating jewelry. Rebecca Collins, internationally known jewelry designer, is a native Texan and Phi Beta Kappa SMU graduate who started out as high school teacher. In 1975, Rebecca took a silversmithing class, where she discovered her passion for creating wearable works of art. Before she designed jewelry, she was an artist, and her paintings are now highly collectible. Rebecca Collins travels the world in search of materials for her jewelry, buying gemstones and antiquities from thousands of sources. Rebecca's designs are each singular and unique: as in nature, no two items are ever exactly alike. When she started designing jewelry, she discovered her fascination with connections between unrelated objects, which lies at the heart of her distinctive designs. Fans admire her artistic combination of contrasting materials such as faceted aquamarine with fossils, jade with vegetable "Off White", or two-thousand year old Roman glass....... her "quirky" combinations create her signature look. Her favorite artists for inspiration are Gustav Klimt and Henri Matisse. anderas

Percy Sandy, who used his traditional name Kai Sa (Red Moon) in signing his work, experimented with a variety of styles, mediums and subjects, but he preferred to work in watercolor in a representational manner. Also known as a muralist, his best known mural is at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe. Kai Sa’s work can be seen in the collections at the Gilcrease Institute and the Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma; the Heard Museum, Phoenix, Arizona; the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Northern Arizona; the Museum of New Mexico; and the United Pueblo Agency, New Mexico.

Antique Chinese Bronze Archaistic Mirror. 3.75" wide, solid bronze, from a very<br>nice collection of Chinese Antiques. Appears Excavated, collected in the third<br>quarter of the 20th century. I'm unsure of exact age.<br><br>The Chinese magic mirror (simplified Chinese: 透光镜; traditional Chinese: 透光鏡;<br>pinyin: tòu guāng jìng) traces back to at least the 5th century, although their<br>existence during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 24 AD) has been claimed. The mirrors<br>were made out of solid bronze. The front was polished and could be used as a<br>mirror, while the back has a design cast in the bronze, or other decoration.<br>When sunlight or other bright light shines onto the mirror, the mirror appears<br>to become transparent. If that light is reflected from the mirror onto a wall,<br>the pattern on the back of the mirror is then projected onto the wall.<br><br><br>The back of the same mirror<br>Bronze mirrors were the standard in many Eurasian cultures, for example ancient<br>Rome, but most lacked this characteristic, as did most Chinese bronze mirrors.<br><br>Robert Temple describes their construction: "The basic mirror shape, with the<br>design on the back, was cast flat, and the convexity of the surface produced<br>afterwards by elaborate scraping and scratching. The surface was then polished<br>to become shiny. The stresses set up by these processes caused the thinner parts<br>of the surface to bulge outwards and become more convex than the thicker<br>portions. Finally, a mercury amalgam was laid over the surface; this created<br>further stresses and preferential buckling. The result was that imperfections of<br>the mirror surface matched the patterns on the back, although they were too<br>minute to be seen by the eye. But when the mirror reflected bright sunlight<br>against a wall, with the resultant magnification of the whole image, the effect<br>was to reproduce the patterns as if they were passing through the solid bronze<br>by way of light beams."<br><br>History<br>China<br>In about 800 AD, during the Tang dynasty (618–907), a book entitled Record of<br>Ancient Mirrors described the method of crafting solid bronze mirrors with<br>decorations, written characters, or patterns on the reverse side that could cast<br>these in a reflection on a nearby surface as light struck the front, polished<br>side of the mirror; due to this seemingly transparent effect, they were called<br>"light-penetration mirrors" by the Chinese.<br><br>This Tang era book was lost over the centuries, but magic mirrors were described<br>in the Dream Pool Essays by Shen Kuo (1031–1095), who owned three of them as a<br>family heirloom. Perplexed as to how solid metal could be transparent, Shen<br>guessed that some sort of quenching technique was used to produce tiny wrinkles<br>on the face of the mirror too small to be observed by the eye. Although his<br>explanation of different cooling rates was incorrect, he was right to suggest<br>the surface contained minute variations which the eye could not detect; these<br>mirrors also had no transparent quality at all, as discovered by the British<br>scientist William Bragg in 1932 (after an entire century of their confounding<br>Western scientists). Bragg noted that "Only the magnifying effect of reflection<br>makes them [the designs] plain".<br><br>Japan<br>As the manufacture of mirrors in China increased, it expanded to Korea and<br>Japan. In fact, Emperor Cao Rui and the Wei Kingdom of China gave numerous<br>bronze mirrors (known as Shinju-kyo in Japan) to Queen Himiko of Wa (Japan),<br>where they were received as rare and mysterious objects. They were described as<br>"sources of honesty" as they were said to reflect all good and evil without<br>error. That is why Japan considers a sacred mirror called Yata-no-Kagami to be<br>one of the three great imperial treasures.<br><br>Today, Yamamoto Akihisa is said to be the last manufacturer of magic mirrors in<br>Japan. The Kyoto Journal [6] interviewed the craftsman and he explained a small<br>portion of the technique, that he learned from his father.

Marian Nez Navajo Sterling and turquoise necklace 18" long necklace, 4" x 1.25" pendant, 48.3 grams with no issues.Marian Nez (’Alch’i’håå baa’); a Navajo originally from Tohajiilee, New Mexico. Marian is the wife of Navajo Silversmith, Leonard Nez.“The love of being a silversmith started long before I knew to design jewelry. I had watched my parents work on their jewelry and decided to solder some pieces for them when they made a trip to town. Little did I know that this was to be the beginning of my love of jewelry making. I will always give thanks and forever be grateful to my parents for introducing me to the craft and handing down this amazing skill to me.Starting in the late 1970’s I worked in various jewelry shops through Albuquerque, New Mexico, doing mass production work and designing individual pieces. During my work with Zachary Jewelry Company, they promoted my creativity and entered some individual pieces of my jewelry in art shows. My designs were awarded first and second place ribbons. In addition, a photo of me working on my jewelry was published in the book, “Allure of Turquoise Book” written by Joe Dan Lowry.In early 2000’s my husband Leonard Nez (whom I taught the craft to) and I started our own jewelry business. After my father passed from complication of diabetes, I decided to explore the health field to understand and educate myself about diabetes and help others. I enrolled in Community Colleges where I accomplished my goal of becoming a Certified Community Health Worker, specializing in diabetes prevention with Native people. My passion for my jewelry still lingered, so I worked part-time on my jewelry. I did not want to lose the unique craftsmanship and design work I so loved.The designs that I now create represent a tribute to my parents, who I am, and where I come from. Each piece that is created comes from the humble heart and positive thoughts. I want the person wearing my jewelry to know and feel the love that’s behind my work.”-Marian NezAll precious metals are tested and guaranteed,

No<br>damage or restorations whatsoever to the painting, thoroughly examined under<br>both natural and UV light.<br><br>Porfirio Salinas (November 6, 1910 – April 18, 1973) was an early Texas<br>landscape painter who is recognized for his depictions of the Texas Hill Country<br>in the springtime. He was one of the first Mexican American artists to become<br>nationally recognized for his paintings. He was described by The New York Times<br>as being United States President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorite painter. Works by<br>Salinas are displayed in the Texas State Capitol, the Texas Governor's Mansion<br>and in a number of museums including the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas and<br>the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.<br><br>Early history<br>Salinas was born on November 6, 1910, near Bastrop, Texas. He came from a family<br>of Mexican American tenant farmers, his father Porfirio G. Salinas and his<br>mother Clara G. Chavez Salinas leaving the farm for San Antonio when Porfirio<br>was a child. Salinas was a precocious talent who drew and painted from the time<br>he was a small boy and received encouragement from his teachers. He had little<br>formal education and left school when he was young in order to work in an art<br>supply store. When he was fifteen he met the English-born landscape artist<br>Robert William Wood (1889–1979) at the store.<br><br>Salinas went to work in Wood's studio in 1925, where he learned the basics of<br>being a professional painter. He stretched Wood's canvasses, and learned to<br>frame paintings, how to mix paints and how to prepare canvas under Wood's<br>supervision. Wood was a very capable businessman, and Salinas learned how to<br>sell and market his art from the English painter. Salinas accompanied Wood and<br>the Spanish-born artist and teacher José Arpa (1858–1952) on sketching trips to<br>the hills and valleys surrounding San Antonio where they painted blooming<br>wildflowers in the spring and the Texas Red Oak in the fall. With his talent and<br>hard work he was soon capable of professional work.<br><br>Professional career<br>Salinas began painting professionally in 1930, when he was twenty years old.[4]<br>His early work was influenced by his mentor Robert Wood's paintings.[5] He<br>painted many scenes of Texas bluebonnets, the state flower, which were sold to<br>tourists by the artists and galleries in San Antonio, Texas. In 1939 he began<br>working with the art dealer Dewey Bradford (1896–1985), who sold paintings,<br>frames and art supplies in the state capital of Austin.<br><br>National recognition<br>While Salinas sold his work steadily, by 1960 he was known primarily to Texas<br>collectors and tourists who visited San Antonio. In 1961, this changed rapidly<br>with the election of his collector Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) to the Vice<br>Presidency of the United States. With his ascension from the United States<br>Senate to being Vice President, Johnson and his wife Lady Bird Johnson<br>(1912–2007) purchased a large French-style chateau from the socialite and<br>heiress Perle Mesta (1889–1975). They decorated the house with French antiques<br>and tapestries that were already in the home, but the foyer was hung with Texas<br>wildflower paintings by Salinas. Lady Bird Johnson was quoted as saying, "I want<br>to see them when I open the door, to remind me of where I come from." At the<br>time of the President Kennedy's assassination, Salinas had completed a scene of<br>a horse drinking titled "Rocky Creek" that was meant to be presented to Kennedy<br>during his ill-fated visit to Dallas. Lyndon Johnson told the Washington press<br>that Porfirio Salinas was "his favorite artist." President Johnson also<br>presented a Salinas painting to President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico as an<br>official gift from the United States. The patronage of the President was a<br>tremendous boost to the artist's career and during the 1960s, his work sold<br>briskly for ever higher prices. The Johnsons' Salinas paintings remain in the<br>collection of the LBJ Ranch today. President and Lady Bird Johnson were both<br>advocates and admirers of wildflowers. Lady Bird Johnson will always remain<br>linked to the subject of wildflowers because of her "Beautify America" campaign<br>and the Highway Beautification Act, which was passed by the United States<br>Congress in 1965. As part of that effort, many miles of Texas roadsides were<br>seeded with Texas bluebonnets, Lupinus texensis, the flowers that Salinas is<br>known for painting.<br><br>Death and posthumous reputation<br>Salinas was recognized by the city of his birth, Bastrop, Texas in 1960, when he<br>was fifty years old. He had a solo exhibition at the Witte Museum in San Antonio<br>in 1962. His work was widely published by the New York Graphic Society, which<br>added to his national reputation. In 1967 his work illustrated a book titled<br>Bluebonnets and Cactus that was published in Austin.<br><br>Salinas died on April 18, 1973, after a brief illness. He was memorialized in<br>the City of Austin with Porfirio Salinas Day in 1973. Ruth Goddard wrote a book<br>titled Porfirio Salinas that was published two years after his death. There is a<br>Youth Art Exhibition showcasing work by K-12 students, named after the artist,<br>held each year in Bastrop. In celebration of the centennial of Salinas' birth,<br>the Witte Museum mounted an exhibition titled Porfirio Salinas: Painting South<br>Texas that opened on October 16, 2010, and ran to March 20, 2011.<br><br>Artistic production<br>The professional career of Porfirio Salinas stretched to more than forty years.<br>According to the art historian Jeffrey Morseburg, he is estimated to have<br>painted between two and three thousand works. His work is divided among a number<br>of subjects, but Hill Country landscapes of the Texas bluebonnets predominate.<br>The bluebonnet landscape has remained eternally popular with both collectors of<br>historic Texas paintings and contemporary artists. Salinas also painted many<br>scenes of Texas red oak trees in the autumn and prickly pear cactus. There were<br>also scenes of the Texas desert in the Texas Panhandle and of arid West Texas.<br>Salinas made trips to Mexico and painted rural Mexican villages and the<br>volcanoes that are south of Mexico City. For Mexican American audiences, Salinas<br>painted small scenes of bullfights, cockfights and Mexican fandangos.<br><br>Personal life<br>Salinas married Maria Bonillas, a Mexican woman who worked for the Mexican<br>National Railways, in San Antonio in 1943. They had a single child, Christina<br>Maria Salinas, who was born in 1945. Maria Bonillas Salinas helped manage her<br>husband's career. The Salinas home and studio was located at 2723 Buena Vista<br>Street in San Antonio. It consists of a small stone home with a detached studio.
