Sterling silver cuff bracelet by Tohono O'odham Indian artist Rick Manuel depicts the traditional summer harvest of the fruit of the saguaro cactus. This is the major summer festival when they make the tiswin (wine). The woman is knocking the fruit from the cactus with a saguaro rib. Another woman is carrying the fruit in an old style giaha, burden basket. The desert scene pictures all the different cactus, ocotillo, blooming agave, staghorn cholla, barrell cactus and many saguaros. The blazing sun is a 14k gold disk. In the foreground are lots of rocks. His attention to the detail is wonderful! Created with heavy sheet silver in two layers, this vintage 1988 jewelry in fine condition. Signed. The cuff is 1 3/8" wide and 6" of silver with an opening of 1", 7" total, some adjustment is possible. Buyer pays $10.00 for shipping. |
