Vintage Tiny Silver Cross Pendant With Stamping

About the Piece:

Here is a tiny silver cross pendant with a sprinkling of stamping and a radiating star-like form. This little treasure is from the collection of Martha Struever, the noted Native American art dealer, collector and scholar Martha Hopkins.

Marti's collection included a number of cross forms, a symbol interpreted in jewelry, basketry, weavings and carvings across the Indigenous, Hispanic and Anglo traditions of the Southwest. 

This cross pendant is likely Navajo, but it is unmarked. It's a delicate piece for someone drawn to tiny lightweight jewelry that you can wear every day. 

It measures 3/4" x 1/2" and hangs from a new sterling silver chain.
