Description
Small sterling silver cuff with a center Heart and a Turtle on each side. Handwrought repoussé and chased sterling silver hears and turtles cuff by Paul-René. The heart is in the center and turtles on the side. It is 4.25″around and 3/4″ wide. Signed with the SunriseDrum hallmark and stamped sterling. Repoussé (hammered from the back to raise the relief). Chasing is the opposite of repoussé, and the two are used in conjunction to create a finished piece. Tolba (the turtle) is surrounded by “double curve” or “fiddle head ferns” and other Wôbanaki medicine ‘Mide’ plant designs . These double curves and “fiddle head” medicine ‘Mide’ plant designs become canoes traveling around carrying the healing plants to help protect. Check out additional cuffs!
