Hummingbird Kachina Tufa Cast Cuff with Cobblestone Inlay by Lester James, Navajo

Lester James, a Navajo silversmith, created this tufa cast sterling silver cuff featuring a sculptural Hummingbird Kachina motif surrounded by cobblestone inlay in turquoise, coral, and lapis against an oxidized silver background. Kachina figures in Pueblo and Navajo cosmology represent spiritual intermediaries between the human and divine worlds — the Hummingbird Kachina is associated with flowers, rain, and beauty. Cobblestone inlay involves fitting irregular stone pieces flush within a recessed silver setting. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
