Hopi Overlay Silverwork

The Hopi Tribe, based on three mesas in northeastern Arizona, developed overlay silverwork as its signature style, in which two sheets of silver are cut and fused so that an oxidized, recessed background sets off a polished design. This technique, formalized in the 1930s and 40s, often draws on Hopi symbols like clouds, rain, and katsina figures.
