Hopi SILVER OVERLAID Man in the Maze Cuff Bracelet by Jackson 2661-BR
Hopi Silver Overlaid Man in the Maze Cuff Bracelet.
This is no light baby doll, this is a big boy bracelet!!! It's over five ounces! This one is meant to be worn with pride. This is a very, very heavy gauge bracelet. This incredible work of art was hand made from start to finish. And, it is perfect down to the matting. This bracelet features overlaid southwestern designs with the traditional Man in the Maze symbol in the center. The Man in the Maze is the symbol of the Hohokam Indian Tribe. They were the first Indian to use canals and this maze represents that. This image was hand cut with perfect precision out of shimmering Sterling Silver and overlaid onto the Sterling Silver cuff. This was made from a sheet of 18 gauge Sterling Silver on top of another 18 gauge sheet of Sterling Silver. Silver on Silver, you can't go wrong with that. Designed in our shop by Richard and Navajo artist Robert Dinay. And, it was made by master silversmith JR Jackson. This impressive bracelet is 1" wide. We can make it to fit a 5" to a 7" wrist for $214.20. And, we can make it to fit anywhere above 7" to an 8-1/2" wrist for $255.00. Leave us the size of your wrist in the 'comment box' as you check out. Stamped Sterling. Signed with our hallmark.
This Tohono O'odham design originally was meant to show the path that the creator figure called Elder Brother, or I'itoi, took to his home beneath Baboquivari Peak in order to elude anyone who might follow him. The Pima also use this design, for them, it represents the floor plan of the home of Elder Brother.
In the past century, the story most often heard describes this design as the path of life, though there is some disagreement as to whether the figure is entering or leaving the maze. The design lends itself well to the path-of-life interpretation as it has no shortcuts, no dead ends, and the entire path must be followed in order to complete the journey. The Man in the Maze design is also the Great Seal of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of Arizona.
