Description

 Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Sand Cast Bird Brooch — Mid-Century

This sterling silver bird pin is a well-made example of mid-20th century Navajo sand-cast silverwork. The composition flows from a heart-shaped wing through a spiraling open body and into a stylized head with crescent crest, pointed beak, and a textured sunburst eye — all rendered in a single continuous form that reflects a skilled hand working directly in the metal.

 

CONDITION

Good. Deep natural patina consistent with age throughout. No repairs, no damage noted. Pin mechanism straight and functional. Polishing left to the buyer.
