I’m new on the forum and I see a lot of hallmark identification questions… but does everyone have a favorite hallmark?
I really love how Anthony Lovato marks his works. I have a few rings made by him and they all have an “A”, “Kewa”, year, and symbol of the Pueblo mixed with other symbols. This one I’m sharing also has corn and the emergence.
While at Cameron Trading Post in April I bought one of his cuffs; I agree with you about his hallmark. Here is mine which has the hallmark, year it was made, and “Kewa” at the bottom…
This cuff wears well with the Lovato corn cuff My wedding band is also one of his creations, and it has similar markings on the inside. I love it; special little designs for the owner!
One more by Milford Calamity, a Navajo artist that I met at the Indianapolis Eiteljorg Museum Indian Art Market.
Oh yes, the (in)famous lil’ devil mark Also how bout the other one we can’t figure out - the Native lady head/guy in an old school football helmet/bison hallmark? I don’t have time to Google it right now, but I’ll try to later.
