Description
- This fabulous Zuni cuff features Green Kingman Turquoise (turquoise is actually lighter colored than images).
- This amazing bracelet features a carved corn ear.
- Research Leekya Deyuse (1899 – 1966) and note the similarities of the carving and rounded, hand-cut bezel!
- Leekya Deyuse is the most famous and sought after Zuni turquoise jewelry carver ever! His carvings, especially his carved leaves, bring the highest prices.
- He worked for C.G. Wallace from the 1920’s and in 1974 Sotheby’s auction: “The C. G. Wallace Collection of Zuni Jewelry” brought the highest prices ever paid (at the time) for many of Leekya Deyuse leaf and other fetish pieces.
