Henry Chackee/Chakee, Navajo - Deceased
(December 17, 1950 - April 25, 2024)
Handmade Sawcut Silver-for Artie Yellowhorse
Henry did some of the finest "sawcut" work in handmade Native American jewelry. He worked almost exclusively for Artie Yellowhorse. Look at the stunning detail and precision, all done by hand.
Henry was one of the few artists in Artie's shop that get to sign their work alongside her name. He is not consistent in this, sometimes he signs, sometimes, he doesn't.
He had a lot of health issues the last five or six years, which dramatically cut down on his output. He broke one of his arms falling off his horse. During COVID, he stayed on the Reservation, which, tragically, has been very seriously impacted by extensive illness and deaths.
SOLD ITEMS get marked with a "Z" at the front of the description. I leave some of these up on the site for reference purposes, unless they were sold very recently, they will be found after the current stock.
