Description

four parts, silver, turquoise, suede belts (four strands), engraved signature “Lomawywesa”, stamped “03”

Kabotie was active both as a painter and as a silversmith.

Lomawywesa’s technique consisted of layering two pieces of silver on top of one and other, cutting the design into the top layer, and oxidizing or blackening the bottom layer to fill the negative spaces and provide relief like depth.
