In Beauty: Vintage Navajo Bow-Guards (Ketohs), and Contemporary
Interpretations
Reception
5 - 8pm
The
leather bow-guards that the Navajo wore were a perfect surface
for expression when silversmithing became part of their culture
in the late 1800's. These highly personal and visual objects have
been prized by collectors for a century. Even though the bow became
an anachronism, the bow guard still retained its status as a symbol
of a warrior or person of power.
Cayuse
has put together a small display of vintage Ketohs, as well as
some contemporary interpretations. We will also showcase vintage
Navajo and other Native American jewelry. Vintage Ketohs are on
display through July 31st.
