About the Item

A striking example of authentic Hopi craftsmanship, this vintage sterling silver necklace by master silversmith Riley Polequaptewa features the iconic Sun Face (Tawa) symbol — representing warmth, growth, and life. The finely overlaid design showcases the artist’s hallmark precision, with bold geometric patterns and deeply oxidized backgrounds that highlight the raised silverwork. Each detail reflects the traditional Hopi overlay technique for which Polequaptewa is renowned, merging spiritual symbolism with exceptional artistry.
