Masterfully crafted this beautiful earring pair was hand crafted by well-known Zuni artist John Gordon (Leak) Leekity. His work was prominently featured in the 1975 Sotheby's auction of the C.G. Wallace collection. John Gordon Leak was well-known for his mosaic inlaid knifewings, arrows and dragonfly images. This lovely earring pair has the central knifewings set in a black and gold shell background with added turquoise snake eyes framing the top and bottom of the earrings. Absolutely beautiful on!
The earrings have french wires with an added silver melon bead and measure 2 1/2"" long by 7/8" wide. See Artist biographies on Home page.
