Harris Joe

Overview
Harris Joe is a Navajo silversmith active since the 1980s — stamp work and set stones across conchos, crosses, boxes, buckles and butterflies.
His documented mark reads Harris Joe; the scan prints it garbled as 'H4irris Joe' with a possible qualifier we cannot make out, so we record only what is legible. Several Joe-family silversmiths appear in this directory, but Harris's entry states no relation to any of them, so we record none.
