Help with Navajo makers mark & age.

[KangaWoo]

Hi guy's,
I have this (what I think is old) Navajo pendant. It's very large and heavy, and is silver.

On the back it has a (I think) sig, that looks like "CA"

I'm really hoping someone can give me some information on it's possible age as well as some idea of the artist who made it.



Cheers and thankly much

Also possible the artist had a toke on some peyote half way through this piece.

sort of look more like a screech rather than a stamped makers mark

It is an etched mark. Not uncommon on older Native American made pieces.


Appears Navajo as mentioned. No help on the mark though.

The only CA maker I can find so far is Cecil Ashley.

The best contact I can give you for identifying Native American items would be the Museum of Native American History [email protected]
