Lee
and Mary are considered, two of the most accomplished silversmiths in
the history of Zuni arts. They started working together in the late
1940's, with Lee doing the silver work and Mary doing the stone cutting.
This uniquely designed bracelet offers the best of their work. With 7 slightly dombed clusters with hand cut turquoise stones that are set in fine sawtooth bezels. Very attractive piece. The total length is 7 3/8" which will fit a wrist smaller than this length at 6 7/8. It is 1 1/4" wide. Hallmarked, Zuni, Lee/Mary. It has a nice heavy weight.
Their
work is published in Zuni Jewelry, the Art and the People, Vol 1 &
2, by Barbara and Ed Bell. Theda Bassman, Northland Publishing Company,
Treasures of the Zuni. Theda and Michael Bassman, Zuni: A Village of
Silversmiths, University of New Mexico Press. Barton Wright, Hallmarks
of the Southwest, Schiffer Publishing LTD, 2000. And many more.
