Early Philander Begay Mudhead Inlay and Tufa Cast Necklace
An early work by Philander Begay, featuring a Mudhead figure created in jet, turquoise and coral inlay against textured tufa-cast silver. The combination of precise inlay and tufa casting makes this an especially interesting example of Begay’s earlier work.
The substantial pendant hangs from a 30-inch handmade silver chain, making the chain itself an important part of the piece rather than simply a way to wear it.
