Navajo/Hopi Artist PHILANDER BEGAY "KOSHARE" Kachina Tufa Cast 925 Ring SZ 10-12
Created by award winner,Philander Begay.. Philander is a Navajo/Hopi mix & creates these wonderful Native ceremonial pieces inspired from his roots & he brings us right to the Native ceremonies, through the jewelry he creates!
With this ring he gives us his Hopi roots,where he created the summer "Koshare" Kachina clown,who gives wisdom & advise & pokes fun at unacceptable behavior..
The ring is literally one of a kind,since he casts in tufa stone & the tufa cannot be used twice.So each piece is special & is given it's own character & soul.
This is a hefty & very solid,durable ring.It is made for a large size finger & would be as handsome on a man's finger,as well as a larger size woman's finger.
Philander is extremely collectible & out does himself all the time,while getting better & better.He is the epitome of "Fine" Native American art.

***Even though this is a size 10-1/2,with these wider shank bands,they actually fit a slightly smaller size finger because of their wideness..So this would fit more on a size 9-1/2(?) or so,finger.(The best thing to do is take a ring that fits well & sit it on top of a paper measuring tape & measure side to side & against my **side to side measurements..Don't take the outside of the ring measurement,but the inside that sits against the finger**)***
