The Navajo Artist, Calvin Peterson--well known for his overlay expertise-- has stamped his symbol of a sun/cloud and "Sterling" into the back of the watch tips on this magnificent ladies watch. He has fashioned an incredible work of art in the sterling silver watch tips. The tips have a hand cut-out 'Man-in-the-Maze' design overlay on the sterling silver. The watch tips create a deep shadow box look. The watch tips are 1-1/4" long and 7/8" wide at their widest. They are attached to an adjustable stretch band and a Selectime Quartz watch with a white face and black numbers--easy to read. The watch face compliments the watch tips and does not detract.The watch is 7/8" in diameter.

Overlay is created by sweating, or soldering, two pieces of silver together. The top piece contains a design element which is meticulously cut out of silver. The bottom piece is oxidized and often textured to produce a contrasting background. It is then carefully filed, buffed and polished to product a fine finished product.

There is a Pima Indian legend that explains when a person is born into this world, they enter a maze of life.  The entrance is at the top where Se-eh-ha (Elder Brother) is waiting to show the way.  The legend tells of the dead ends, detours and obstacles.  It’s the struggle to understand what can affect the physical, emotional, and spiritual growth that can guide them through the maze.  At each turn, there is an opportunity to understand and appreciate the cycle of life, and to gain strength to move toward their goals.  If the path is traveled in harmony and with a balance with nature, the legend says that dreams and ambitions will be found at the center of the maze, where E-e-thoi (Sun God) waits.  He then passes them on to the next world.

This is a truly special watch to be enjoyed by that special person!
