Navajo Zuni Native American artist Alex Sanchez is legendary for his petroglyphs designs in sterling silver. This stunning cuff bracelet is a perfect example of his work that also has a red Italian coral accent. A petroglyph is an image created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, or abrading, as a form of rock art. Sanchez applies this Native American style to sterling silver. The underside of this piece has an ornate design as well has the artist's name and sterling mark.

Artist Biography from Medicine Man Gallery:
Alex Sanchez is an award winning, third generation silversmith, from the Navajo (Water Edge Clan) and Zuni Clan.
Born in Mexican Springs, NM in 1969, Alex Sanchez was inspired and taught silversmithing, by his brother Myron Panteah, while Alex was studying Sports Medicine in his 20s. Petroglyph designs, such as animal, human and spirit symbols are the cornerstone of his work. They are created with heavy gauge silver, reflecting contemporary and traditional totemic designs.
He has been exhibiting and selling his work since 2001. His works have been presented at The Santa Fe Indian Market and The Heard Museum. He has received awards from the Red Earth Show in Oklahoma, The Gallup Ceremonial and Navajo Nation Fair. less
