Signed by what appears to be Charles Supplee Hopi/French - Though a Hopi, Charles Supplee lived much of his life at the Belmont Navajo Army Depot and on the Navajo Reservation in Ganado. Taught the basics of jewelry making by his father, the teenager strove to improve his artistry throughout high school. After graduation, Supplee came to Scottsdale and worked at the Arizona Turquoise and Silver Company making Hopi overlay. The big break came when the internationally famous French jeweler, the late Pierre Touraine, invited the young artist to join the School for Contemporary Art and Jewelry for Native Americans.
