Provenance

Robert Wallace collection 1938, with an original Robert Wallace inventory number of RZ 123.

A truly stunning and rare bracelet by famous Zuni artist John Gordon Leak. The bracelet represents one of his most elegant pieces and contains one of Leak's largest inlaid elements that I am aware of. 

This is a very rare piece of Zuni Lapidary history and is an extraordinary example of the finest stone to stone inlay by the Zuni Master John Gordon Leak. Appearing in pristine original condition.
