Here is another fantastic early set of Navajo buttons directly from the collection of Jay Evetts. This set includes 6 flat silver oval buttons with stamping. These early pieces date circa 1910-1920. They show quite a bit of wear and they have copper sew loops on the back. These buttons would have been worn by Navajo men or women sewn on their clothing or bags as beautiful jewelry ornaments. You can wear them to decorate just about anything or you can have them mounted and keep them on display as the special historic pieces that they are. The original collector, Jay Evetts, is a dealer in antique American Indian art who is best-known for assembling one of the finest collections of Indian art in his field. He's particularly known for the fine buttons he acquired. Due to the early handmade nature, each button is just a little bit different, but they measure about 7/8" width x 1/2" high. They are, of course, unsigned.

Sorry, this piece has sold.
