A seated Navajo (Dine) silversmith works at a small wooden bench, an anvil and an array of hand tools laid out before him. He wears a turquoise long-sleeved shirt cinched with a sash, a strand of heavy turquoise and silver beads, a woven headband, and soft moccasins, in the traditional style of a Southwestern craftsman.

His hands are poised over the anvil mid-task, capturing the quiet concentration of the silver-working trade.

An evocative artisan figure for a Southwestern trading-post, pueblo, or historical-craft diorama, and a fine background character for early-1900s rural and market layouts.
