Hello Robert, My first impression is that it is not American Indian but I am a novice and others will know more. The design elements don’t look familiar. Isn’t the name Emerson a common name in Sweden and England? Interesting pieces, it would be nice to hear the background of them.
Hi Robert,
This is the hallmark for Emerson Bill. You can follow the link for a bio on this artist. Now you have his name google him and find comparable pieces of his work.

The horse/dog motif seems to be common on the Fred Harvey pieces, I have a few myself with that figure on there. I like your cuffs!

See, I knew someone would know. Smart people around here! Sounds like his chisel technique makes his work unique looking and very sturdy. I love the little horse (or dog) guy. I learned something today, thank you Currada!

Sure did. Emerson Bill’s work is well known and his prices reflect that. And Fred Harvey bracelets have a strong market too, though I can’t tell from these photos whether this one is period or revival.

That is the famous horsedog which is only found in the Southwest, sometimes near jackalopes.

Website was very educational and interesting. I have never seen an Emerson piece before . Maybe someday.
