Frank Peshlakai's silver design talent was most certainly shaped by the legendary silversmiths in his immediate family, including his more prodigious and famous brother, Fred. His uncle, Atsidi Sani was the first known Navajo silversmith, and his father and uncle, Slender Maker of Silver and Slender Old Silversmith, were creative and masterful silver craftsmen.

Frank Peshlakai's hallmarked pieces are rare to find in the marketplace.
