Description
sz6 c1930's Etsitty Tsosie Navajo sterling silver petrified wood ring. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in photos, appropriate wear, circa second quarter of the 20th century.
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.
