Early Navajo Silver Headstall with Steer Head Design
This historic Navajo silver headstall (ca. 1900) is an exceptional example of early Southwestern Native American equestrian artistry, featuring a highly expressive central steer head design. Hand-wrought from heavy-gauge coin or sterling silver, the prominent browband plaque is masterfully repoussé-stamped and chased to form the stylized longhorn features, complete with a central fan motif and textured horns. Suspended directly below the steer's muzzle is a beautiful crescent-shaped naja, later replacement, accented by stylized hands at its tips. The headstall is complete with matching fluted silver conchos at the temples, stamped cheekpiece plates, and a bit, all mounted on its original vintage leather bridle strapping.
Size: 21" OAH (25" Stand Height)
Circa: mid to late 20th Century
