NAVAJO HANDCRAFTED CUFF BRACELET
Handcrafted cuff bracelet by Navajo artist Murphy Platero (stamped MP). The crosses consist of genuine orange spiny oyster shell and Kingman turquoise. The bracelet has detailed stamping throughout. The raised mounting of the crosses make a statement. Measuring 1" in width with an inside measurement of 5-1/4" and a 1-1/4" opening. This a outstanding bracelet.
