A chain by Loren Kootswatewa, a distinctive Hopi craftsman devoted exclusively to making Hopi chains, although several Hopi jewelry artists also make chains by hand. When we received this chain directly from Loren, we asked him to attach a plate bearing his hallmark. He explained that he did not have a hallmark: as the only Hopi silversmith working solely on chains, he felt that Hopi people would recognize his work without one. Instead, we asked Loren to sign the card that LONGBRANCH provides to customers with the piece. Material: Sterling silver Dimensions: Total length approximately 62 cm; width 0.4 cm Artist: Loren Kootswatewa (Hopi)
