Early Navajo ingot silver bracelet, crude, natural turquoise, great

  
An early, heavy ingot silver Navajo bracelet. Really heavy at 77.6 grams, with hand made stamps. The natural turquoise looks Cerrillos-ish and was hand filed into shape and set into a thick handmade bezel. The patina on the inside of the bracelet is amazing, the dark black/brown that builds up on older pieces.

Really crude, it looks like on the inside of the band under the turquoise. One of the reasons I'm comfortable that this is ingot are the irregularities and pits left when the silver was heated and poured.

Please look at the magnified photos to see the surface scratches and wear. 5 5/8" inside circumference with a 1 3/4" gap, just about 3/4 wide.
