He will be honored at both Indian market and in the Santa Fean Magazine. Lawrence has been a working silversmith for over 60 years. Lawrence was there when his father, Paul Saufkie and Fred Kaboutie first developed the Overlay style in the late 1930's. It was Lawrence, perhaps more then anyone else, who perpetuated this style of jewelry. Today, gold and silver overlay is regularly used by Indian silversmiths everywhere.   Griselda and Lawrence Saufkie To understand the beauty of Hopi overlay, one must look at the details. The designs are cut by hand (usually with one continuous cut) and soldered to the silver sheet below... which is incised with beautiful patterns of its own.  Lawrence Saufkie jewelry is infinitely more then the sum of its parts. Physical aliments severely limit Lawrence's production. Overlay jewelry is made by applying silver layers, one over another, to create detailed scenes, masks, or patterns. Hopi overlay  takes the process further by delicately incising the lower layer of metal to enhance the design. Prior to the overlay technique (1940's), Hopi jewelry was very  much like the jewelry of other Southwestern Indian people of that time. Paul Saufkie was recently recognized by the American Museum of Natural History in NYC for his contribution to this art form. From the very start, Lawrence Saufkie worked closely with his father, Paul Saufkie. Lawrence Saufkie Silver and Turquoise Bolo Ties These were ordered from Lawrence two years ago. They are among his most challenging designs. They are exquisite  to say the least. The Mudheads are Creation figures and are seen here in their traditional pose... dancing with a rattle (natural spider web turquoise) in one hand and Prayer Feathers in the other hand. These are a must have for any collector. Lawrence's place in history is assured. A handmade leather string tie and handmade silver tips are included. 4" long - $1525 <><><> You found us at just the right time. We have begun our Holiday Sale.
