Ben Arland, Container, 14k Gold, Sterling Silver, Navajo Handmade, 2 3/4"

This exceptional Navajo handmade container by Ben Arland is a powerful expression of cultural reverence and elevated craftsmanship. Meticulously crafted from sterling silver and accented with 14k gold overlays, the lid features a radiant design that speaks to sacred geometry and Navajo cosmology. A central square opening draws the eye, surrounded by radiating lines symbolizing spiritual energy, emergence, and direction. Intricate gold imagery—including hands, stars, lightning bolts, spirals, and birds—evokes themes of protection, harmony, and ancestral guidance. Each hand-stamped detail is deeply intentional, bridging contemporary silversmithing with timeless tradition. The overall composition conveys both movement and balance, like a ceremonial shield or sunburst.
