The horned toad or Cheii in Navajo lore is the grandfather spirit who protects the people and leads them safely. Philander created this wonderful toad out of sterling silver and Nevada Pilot Mountain Turquoise. The figure was cast first separately and overlaid on the heavy tufa cast shank. A collector's piece that bridges fine jewelry and sculptural art—perfect for those who appreciate indigenous craftsmanship and wearable gallery-quality design.
