I have this lovely brooch and on the back is a flower (what I assume to be) a hallmark does anyone recognize it?

Wow! That is really lovely! I have never seen that Flower hallmark. Looks like they die-formed it, then pierced, then handstamped the circular edge and finally added handmade bezel and twisted wire decoration…very nicely done! I love it! Now to find who made it! LoL Maybe Navajo…its definitely very similar to their style but theres something different about it…maybe its made by a more contemporary Navajo artist judging from the pin back style being a later more modern style and the saw style bezel which is also more modern…so I would start with an 80’s or younger Navajo or perhaps western style artist search of that hallmark…Thanks for sharing!

Just seen this flower mark on the back of my hallmarks of native southwest book and it says: flower hallmark attributed to Joe Yazzie (Navajo) working in the Zuni area.
