Note: Charles and his brother, Tommy Singer, invented fabricating silver with the turquoise and coral chip inlay style. Tommy shared the chip inlay style with Charles in the 1960s in Shiprock, New Mexico. The brothers would later set up shop in Holbrook, Arizona, during the late 1960s and early 1970s. His family, who were from the Navajo tribe, started making art in 1948. This lot contains animal or plant material that may be restricted under federal, state and/or local law.
