DescriptionA silver Navajo cuff style bracelet stamped with arrows and whirling logs motifs. There are two square turquoise stones set on either side of a central triangular stone with a scalloped border design.

Arrows and the Whirling Logs motifs were promoted by the Fred Harvey Company as stamped jewelry designs in the early 1900s. The Whirling Logs motif lost its appeal during World War II, due to its visual similarity (though in reverse direction) to the swastika.
