About this Award: Art works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections.

Jurors' Comments:
Suzanne: This has excellent craftsmanship. It is a stamping revival of a traditional design with a lovely piece of turquoise. It has good weight. We haven't added a Navajo piece to the museum's collections in quite some time and it will complement the collection.
