The Back of the Ring is Fully and Properly Hallmarked with Morris Robinson’s Earlier he had a few variations of this Hallmark – See Bille Hougart’s “NATIVE AMERICAN AND SOUTHWESTERN SILVER HALLMARKS” P. 314 “H with a Snake” Stamp!!! Hopi Legend, Morris Robinson, was a Pioneering Silversmith of the Hopi People. He Belonged to the Lizard/Snake Clan, and he lived from 1901 – 1984. He began working with Silver in the 1920s, and started using his Hallmark around 1931. He is One of The Most Revered and Influential Native American Artists to ever live. He was Influential to Hopi Legends such as Charles Loloma and Preston Monongye, and his Designs and Techniques are Evident in Jewelry being Created to this day. His Rings are Particularly Difficult to find, simply because Most are in Museums, such as the Heard Museum, or in Private Collections. This Particular Ring is a Very Early Example of his Work, and thus EXTREMELY Collectible and Valuable!!! This Ring has Clearly been Lovingly Cherished for Many Decades, and would make an Astounding Addition to Your Collection of The Finest Native American Jewelry and Art. I Highly Encourage Questions.
