The precision of this piece is magnificent with cutouts used for the feathers, beak and eyes. Wind and weather designs are displayed in swirls and triangular shapes which are also brought out with dark oxidation.

Straight from the artist's private collection, this marvelous piece was the winner of the prestigious Charles Loloma Best in Show Award at the 2008 Hopi arts and crafts festival. Ramon Dalangyawma cut out and overlayed twenty eight exquisite dragonflies flying through the air encircling a large dragonfly at the center of the piece. They are all set against an oxidized and etched background symbolizing the night sky. Dragonflies in the Hopi religion represent renewal and are the messengers of the coming springtime. They are often found by water which is essential to the growth and prosperity of the pueblo people. The artist outlined the bodies of these wonderful creatures with patterns that echo this sacred meaning. We have the great privilege of representing Ramon Dalangyawma with this piece on page 179 of Dr. Gregory Schaff's definitive new book American Indian Jewelry II: A-L 1,800 Artist Biographies.
