Robert Vandover — Navajo/Diné Silversmith

Profile by Mateo James

Robert Vandover is a Navajo (Diné) silversmith documented in Hougart, who records his mark as a “V” (it may appear with a © symbol).

T.Skies carries a turquoise cluster shank bracelet with a “V” mark like the one Hougart records for him; our match to his mark is tentative.

Additional biographical details have not yet been confirmed.
