Dorothy Clark
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow
Overview
Dorothy Clark is a Navajo silversmith who shares her stamp with her husband Donny Clark. Her documented mark is D D.
A note on the name: our scan prints the headword as 'Dorothy Oark', but the entry's own text — 'Dorothy Clark shares stamp with her husband Donny Clark' — together with the adjacent Clark family entries fixes the surname as Clark, and that is how we record her. Donny Clark has no directory page yet.
Collector's caution: the D D stamp is shared — Hougart documents that Dorothy Clark shares it with her husband Donny Clark, whose adjacent entry states the same in mirror. A piece bearing D D cannot be attributed to either artist alone on the mark's evidence.
