EL Billah - Eva & Lindberg Billah, Navajo, Dine, 20th Century.

Tufa-casting is an old Navajo technique where the impression of the bracelet is carved in volcanic stone (tufa-stone) and the molten metal is poured into the impression. Many pieces are OOAK as the cast breaks after use. This is a labor-intensive process.
