Top left: Snow cloud (with snow "flakes" which are actually square in the Hopi design). The artist is silversmith Bernard Dawahoya of the Snow clan who learned his art from his uncles. This is his hallmark.#2: Jen Ladano (jladano) on May 7, 2009
Top right: Star with crescent moon. This design is the hallmark of silversmith Bille Ray Hawee of the Sun clan.
Bottom left: Orion (belt and three brightest stars of that constellation). This design was the hallmark of silversmith Vernon Mansfield of the Sun clan until he gave his tools and is mark to his cousin.
Bottom right: Sun design, the symbol of the Hopi Sun clan, and also the official hallmark of the Hopi Silvercraft Cooperative Guild.
