Norbert Peshlakai Stamped Silver Brooch Set With Coral
Navajo artist Norbert Peshlakai creates jewelry that's far more complex than initially meets the eye. An admirer of Pablo Picasso, Norbert Peshlakai often designs his jewelry with Picasso in mind.
Take this dangling silver pin, for example. At first glance, it appears to be a pretty pastoral scene created with Norbert Peshlakai's handmade stamps. You'll notice rolling hills with a fence, grass and other plants under a fiery red coral sun. When you turn the pin on its side, however, you'll find a stylized face that's Piccassoesque. Can you see it? (You might have to turn your head when looking at your screen.)
Like all great works of art, the design of this brooch is open to interpretation. What's yours?
Norbert's stamped silver pin measures 2 1/4" x 1 1/4". It's hallmarked on the reverse.
