Man in the Maze Horsehair Basket Pendant by Ronald Begay, Navajo, 2"

Ronald Begay, a Navajo artisan, wove this 2-inch diameter horsehair basket pendant using the Man in the Maze design — a sacred symbol from Tohono O'odham philosophy representing life's journey, choices, and spiritual purpose, with the center of the maze symbolizing one's ultimate destination. The tight coiled horsehair weave in traditional geometric patterning is set within a sterling silver rim with a stamped bail. Horsehair basketry is a distinct craft tradition that merges weaving and jewelry, and Ronald Begay is among the most accomplished practitioners working today. Bale: hook style. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
