Vtg George Phillips Hopi Sterling Silver Overlay Kokopelli Pin Pendant Brooch

  

This exceptional vintage Hopi piece by renowned silversmith George Phillips can be worn as either a brooch pin or a necklace pendant. Crafted from solid sterling silver, it features a striking traditional overlay design of a flute player beautifully contrasted against a finely textured, oxidized background. The circular piece measures approximately 44.5mm (about 1.75 inches) in diameter and showcases the meticulous chisel work characteristic of masterful Native American silvercraft. The reverse side is fitted with both a secure rolling clasp for pinning to garments and a fixed loop for stringing onto a chain or leather cord.

It bears the recognizable hallmark of George Phillips-the initials "GP" beneath a bent arrow-guaranteeing its origin and quality. The silver retains a lovely, unpolished natural vintage patina that adds remarkable character and depth to this highly collectible piece.
