I bought this sterling overlay small pin/pendant with some other pins and it is only marked with a bear paw mark. It tests sterling. Could someone help me with the maker, please?

I think that’s an Andrew Saufkie Hopi pictomark…the style is definitely similar to the Hopi overlay technique and the commonly used texturing hashmarks they use to fill in the backgrounds…I would say it’s 70’s maybe maybe as late as the early 90’s…
Very cool and unusual looking piece.
Good Find!
