Beck, a celebrated Diné (Navajo) artist known for contemporary design and form, expresses traditional elements and a relationship with tó (water). Coral and shell represent water and reflect a deep connection to the Ocean and Yoolgai asdzáá (white shell woman). Handpicked for their quality, Beck carefully inlaid this piece with coral, lapis lazuli, shell, turquoise, and gold in a contemporary curved silver “Santa Fe” design with silver tips.
