ARTIFACT:
This is an Iconic 1920's Navajo Silver & Godber-Burnham Turquoise 3rd Phase Concho Belt by Hosteen Goodluck.
Hosteen Goodluck was a prominent Navajo silversmith who lived from about 1865 to 1937. He was known for his beautiful silversmithing work and his contributions to Navajo art. The name "Hosteen Goodluck" is a respectful title in Navajo, meaning "man" or "husband," followed by the personal name "Goodluck"
Hosteen Goodluck was widely respected as one of the most important, early Navajo silversmiths. He was a master jeweler and active from the 1890's to 1930's. First Phase silversmith that worked for C. G. Wallace as early as 1923. Mr. Wallace was so impressed with this man's talents, that he moved him from Houck, AZ to Zuni, NM to do cast work and as a die maker. C. G. supplied him with fine Swiss files, which he used to make dies. Many of Hosteen's and Ettsity Tsosie's dies were shared with other Zuni and Navajo smiths and encouraged them to do silver work. Hosteen was a master in hand-hammered, bezel set, stamping and repousse silver jewelry. Our attribution comes from the history of the belt and the many similarities with the workmanship, design and age.
