Alex Sanchez Navajo Zuni Turquoise Sterling Silver Maiden Kachina Cuff Bracelet

Alex sent me these and you all have to do me a favor and get them out of my hands before I claim them all as MINE! HELP!

Alex Sanchez calls these spirit faces "Maidens" —
and this variation is among his most tender and
extraordinary. A wide heavy-gauge sterling silver
cuff is anchored by a fully sculpted three-dimensional
Maiden face, her hair rendered in fine parallel lines
beneath an elaborate headdress of eight individually
hand-formed wire spiral coils — each one oxidized
to create depth and shadow against the polished
silver face.

This Maiden truly rare is her fa:
her face is stamped with delicate hearts — an unusual
and deeply personal touch that gives this spirit
figure a warmth and tenderness seldom seen in
traditional Maiden or Kachina imagery. Paired with
a large spiral and surrounded by mirror-like appliques such as,
wave symbols, and petroglyphic stamps on the wide
oxidized band, she carries cultural authority.

── SIGNIFICANCE ─────────────────────────────────
While collectors may recognize this figure from the
broader Kachina tradition, Alex Sanchez specifically
names these faces Maidens — honoring their feminine
spirit energy and their roots in Navajo and Zuni
cosmology. The hearts on this Maiden's face are rare
even within his own body of work, suggesting a spirit
of love and human connection that transcends ceremony.

Signed with Alex Sanchez's hallmark. Completely one
of a kind — there is no other like her.
── THE STONE ────────────────────────────────────
Bezel-set at the chin of the Kachina is a vivid oval
natural turquoise stone — deep blue with a rich dark
spiderweb matrix — hand-selected by the artist and
worked into the composition with intention.
