Sure looks like his hallmark and looks 70s - 80s Navajo. He seems to have worked in various styles. What did you find out on Reddit and FB?

I didn’t find a whole lot because I know this is not.There’s traditional style someone thought it could be mexico counterfit, but to me it looks navajo. Or like those mexico touristy pieces, but that doesn’t look like what it is to me.
