Corn is a symbol of food and life in Navajo culture. Here, third-generation Navajo jeweler Ira Custer has carefully handmade a wide silver tufa cast cuff bracelet depicting a corn plant. He is especially renowned for his mastery of tufa casting (see below for explanation) and for his frequent use of classic Navajo motifs such as corn, dragonflies, and traditional geometric patterns. His award winning pieces can be found in many fine galleries and museums across the North and Southwestern United States and as far east as Europe.
