The distinctive silver jewelry crafted by the Hopi people of northern Arizona is prized by collectors all over the world. Margaret Wright's comprehensive guide, first published over thirty years ago and updated in 1998, has long been considered the best available reference on Hopi silversmithing. In addition to information on more than 300 silversmiths and their hallmarks the personal stamps that smiths use to mark their work it includes a useful written and photographic chronicle of this beautiful and popular art form.
