Baxter. A Schiffer book for Collectors.

Dan Simplicio learned jewelry making from his uncle, Juan Dedios. Simplicio was the first to develop styles and materials usage that have since become commonplace. He was most active creating metal art between the 1920's through the late 1950's. He collaborated with a number of the most widely recognized masters of Zuni art, including Leekya Deyuse, Teddie Weahkee, Leo Poblano, Bernard Homer, and Lee Edaakie.

Simplicio's work is cited in every major publication chronicling 20th century Zuni jewelers.
