These earrings were acquired this past weekend at the annual Autry Indian Art Market in Los Angeles, CA. They were hand made by Kewa (Santa Domingo Pueblo) artist Warren Nieto. I was able to purchase them directly from the artist.
Created as an homage to my desert ancestors, I focus on the historical significance of Indigenous southwestern tribal adornment culture and the perpetuation of those adornment practices perpetuated into the 21st century. In honor of my Navajo & Hopi Pueblo People & my ancestral matriarchs, and male relatives who adorned themselves with elements of the earth. Be Matriarch. Hózhó Nashá- Beauty all Around. Venaya Yazzie
