Anson Joe is a Navajo silversmith active since the 1970s. The Hougart record documents his work in traditional styles, specifically cluster work and stamp work. The corpus notes that his pieces may be marked for the Atkinson Trading Company — a longstanding Southwestern Indian arts trading post — indicating he sold or consigned work through that outlet at some point in his career.
