History: The Old Pawn Hat is a tribute to the significance turquoise and silver jewelry played in Navajo people's lives - not only as a piece of adornment, but a protector of good health and portable wealth. With limited access to money, the turquoise jewelry's role within a family was often their reserve of wealth. The jewelry would be used to secure lending from a trader or rather "pawned."
