Juror's Comments:
Hartman: I chose this because when artists use gold as metal its not usually in such a generous amount as in this piece. Having done lapidary work myself, I appreciated the workmanship in matching stones in color. The cutting is so well done in the inlay that it offers an extension of the pattern of the gold. It looks a little bit like the state flag of Arizona!
