Philander Begay, Pendant, Wood, Turquoise, Lizard, Navajo Handmade, 2 1/2''
The lizard is a fascinating reptile. You can find them in all kinds of different colors around Gallup, New Mexico, even turquoise. This large tufa cast lizard pendant is filled with colorful cuts of turquoise and a deep ironwood. The cobble stone cuts sit high above the silver creating a great look. Navajo artist Philander Begay made this beautiful work of art. Philander is known for his unique pieces. Due to the fact that most of Philander's work draws on his and the Hopi culture I imagine he is quite spiritual. Growing up on a very traditional part of the Navajo Nation and next to Hopi has proven to be the influence for his work.
