4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable and beautifully illustrated resource!, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hopi Silver: The History and Hallmarks of Hope Silversmithing (Paperback)

For anyone who admires or collects Hopi jewelry, this guide will only serve to deepen your appreciation of this beautiful artwork. After setting the stage geographically, Wright starts at the beginning with a history of Hopi crafts and culture, and early silversmiths. Of particular interest was the role played by Mary-Russell Colter of the Museum of Northern Arizona in encouraging the Hopi artists to create a design style that was uniquely Hopi, distinguishable from other Native American jewelry, and therefore profitable. The color plates of traditional and modern Hopi jewelry designs are stunning. The book closes with an index of the hallmarks of more than 300 Hopi silversmiths-- arranged chronologically and by type of symbol, with brief information about each artist. An invaluable reference for serious or casual collectors!

5.0 out of 5 stars Updated in 1998 to include 80 new artisans, November 17, 2003

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Back in print is Hopi Silver: The History And Hallmarks Of Hopi Silversmithing, a revised classic covering the history and hallmarks of Hopi silversmithing. This classic appeared over twenty years ago and was updated in 1998 to include 80 new artisans: it not only reveals the history of past and contemporary Hopi silversmithers, but it provides an important reference of unique hallmarks used by other 300 Hopi silversmiths, including designs, silversmith name and clan, and years he or she began their work. Add color photos and you have a memorable coverage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hopi Silversmithing at its finest, May 4, 2009

By	Robert Warren (Ridley Park, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

A Great book to convey the Hopi Indian Artestry of Silversmithing. Includes tribal and individual trademark symbols.
Support Native Americans by purchasing only Authentic Native American Made Jewelry. The Hopi Indians are Masters of their trade in Silversmithing. This is a well rounded book and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates Hopi Silver!
