RARE! A Carved Turquoise Necklace Attributed to Leekya Deyuse
This stunning and unique carved turquoise necklace is a one of a kind! The carvings have been strongly attributed to the master Zuni carver, Leekya. Several experts in the field of vintage and antique Native American jewelry have also verified the attribution. The last 2 pictures are from the famous old C. It is a choker style necklace with seven carved turquoise tabs and handmade sterling silver beads. Please note, the turquoise carving just to the left of the center piece is not the original. That piece was broke and subsequently repaired, but the previous owner did not like the repair, so he had a replacement made. However, the original which was repaired is still included (see pictures where the original is sitting beside the replacement). We will convey the original piece along with the necklace. It also conveys in a riker’s shadow box display as pictured. This is a highly collectible necklace and it would go perfect in your collection! We stand behind what we sell and want you to be happy! Size: Measures 16 around the neck. Pendant is an additional 1-1/4″ wide X 2-1/4″ long. Condition: Good for its age.
