This piece is Hopi handmade overlay jewelry. Hopi is an indigenous tribe that is located in Arizona. They are known for their excellent overlay jewelry. The overlay process is where the design is cut out of a sheet of silver and soldered to another sheet, leaving a deep recessed area, which is later antiqued and darkened to bring out the beauty of the design.
