Overview
Mark Roanhorse (Crawford) (born 1985) is a Navajo silversmith documented for tufa cast work with set stones, in silver and gold. He is a son of Eugene Crawford and brother of Michael Roanhorse, who smiths in his own right.
His mark is the initials M R inside a loop — usually part of the cast itself rather than a separate stamp — and may appear with a horse-and-rider figure.
