Jeffrey Castillo, Container, Turquoise, Sterling Silver, Navajo Handmade, 3"

This elegant Navajo handmade container by Jeffrey Castillo showcases the timeless artistry of traditional silversmithing. Crafted from gleaming sterling silver, the vessel is richly adorned with hand-stamped designs that ripple outward in layered, concentric patterns. The domed lid rises into a tiered finial crowned with a vibrant turquoise cabochon, a symbol of protection, healing, and sacred beauty in Navajo culture. The precision and symmetry of the stamp work reflect Castillo’s deep respect for ancestral techniques, while the overall form evokes a ceremonial offering jar. Both functional and ornamental, this piece bridges utility with symbolism. Its refined details and balanced proportions make it a striking addition to any collection. This container is not just a vessel, it’s a story in silver and stone, passed from one generation of Navajo tradition to the next.
