Description
 
These lovely, large Morenci turquoise earrings were hand-crafted by Zuni artist Frances Leekya. The stones are slightly raised channel inlay, with what is called a fish scale design. France and family were well-known for this style of inlay. Frances was the son of Leekya Deyuse. The workmanship is perfect on these hoops! Statement earrings that look lovely on. Not Hallmarked, as his early pieces were not hallmarked.

The earrings measure, 2 7/8" tall by 1 3/4" wide. They were clip-ons, but we had them converted to post earrings because of their size. These earrings weight 33 grams.
