CHACO SERIES COLLECTION- Titled-CHACO DOOR. This piece I added into my Chaco collection because I made the base to inlay onto with cottonwood as my ancestors did. It is in the Kiva step shape.  I carved out the inter space of the cottonwood and Inlaid it with Kingman turquoise, Spiney Oyster shell, mother-of-pearl & black jet. Signed on the backside with my signature brand "LeJeune".  Authentic olive shell heishi and hand shaped Spiney Oyster shell and turquoise beads I made. I also made the sterling silver clasps on the end of the necklace. 

An original one-of-a-kind wearable art piece designed and handmade by LeJeune Chavez of Santo Domingo Pueblo.
