Lina Tsinajinnie is a Navajo silversmith active since the 1990s. She works in channel inlay, stamp work, and cabochon settings. The Hougart record notes that the Tsinajinnie stamp is shared.
Channel inlay involves fitting precisely cut stones or shell into recessed channels cut into the silver surface, creating flush, mosaic-like designs. Cabochon work refers to setting dome-shaped polished stones in silver bezels. No birth year, training history, or additional biographical details appear in the available source record.
Note: The Hougart OCR scan renders the surname as "Tsinajinn ie" — this is a scan artifact; the artist's correct name is Lina Tsinajinnie.
