Description
"This silver pin, belonging to a complete set of jewelry of the same design, has one large silver sphere in the center representing the moon, surrounded by smaller spheres representing the stars. On either side of this center piece is a smaller moon-star sphere. This was made by Kenneth Begay, a full-blood Navajo, and I (Cleora Helbing) wore it for many years."Related People and Organizations
