Important Early Hopi LEWIS LOMAY Handmade Sterling Knifewing Design Belt Buckle

Description: “Lewis Lomay (Lomayesva) is known for jewelry of clean, modern design with a European influence. He was born at Old Oraibi on Hopi’s Third Mesa and studied art at the Albuquerque Indian School. Around 1930 he transferred to Santa Fe Indian School where Dorothy Dunn was teaching the flat style of painting for which the School became known. Lomay’s interest in developing new styles met with Dunn’s disapproval so he switched to studying jewelry under Ambrose Roanhorse. During the Great Depression he quite school to work at Frank Patania’s Thunderbird Shop where he stayed for 13 years. Lomay worked in both the traditional style he learned at school, but also developed clean, modern designs inspired by Patania. After starting his own business, he entered his work in shows and immediately started winning awards. The accolades continued until his death, just before the 1996 Santa Fe Indian Market.” You are looking at a rare important Hopi early handmade sterling silver knifewing kachina technique design belt buckle. Wonderful overlay technique design on the kachina and also notice the fine hand stamp work design on the buckles face. It is Handmade and signed on the Back by Lomay. A Native American jewelry collection will never be complete without at least one piece made by Lewis Lomay . He is certainly one of the most recognized artists in NA history. I added plenty of pictures including measurements so you can get an idea on what you're bidding on. This piece will make an excellent addition to any Native American collection.
