About this mark

The mark shown above is photographed directly on an authenticated piece from the T.Skies gallery — this is Byron Begay's actual stamp, not a recreation.

As struck, the mark reads BEGAY beneath a right-pointing arrow stamp, with Sterling struck below.

Byron Begay is documented as a Navajo silversmith in the T.Skies hallmark reference library.

Begay is one of the most common surnames on the Navajo Nation, so a surname stamp alone is not a positive attribution — read it together with the arrow stamp and the piece's provenance. Additional biographical details are not yet confirmed for this entry.
