Wilford Begay, Vase, Kingman Turquoise, Sterling Silver, Navajo Handmade, 4 1/2"

Description

This stunning Navajo handmade vase by master silversmith Wilford Begay is a true celebration of artistry and tradition. Crafted from sterling silver, the piece features two elegantly flared vessels joined at the base, each adorned with intricate hand-stamped patterns that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Southwest. A ring of vibrant Kingman Turquoise cabochons encircles the base, their sky-blue hue adding a brilliant contrast to the polished silver. Delicate rope-edge detailing and precisely placed silver appliqué further enhance the vase’s refined elegance. Small turquoise and coral accents are thoughtfully set into each vessel, bringing balance and harmony to the design. More than a decorative piece, this vase stands as a testament to Begay’s exceptional skill in blending form, texture, and color. It is both a striking collector’s item and a meaningful work of Native American art that honors centuries of Navajo silversmithing tradition.
