I bought this several years ago at an auction and was told that it was probably a Zuni Indian bracelet. The only mark inside the cuff is L.W. The Hishi beads are set in Sterling Silver and they dated the bracelet approx. 20-30 yrs old. I have looked and not been able to find anything like it or of the same style. Could it be something other than Zuni? Any information or comments would be appreciated.
All the info you have is correct!
Hi..well, Lorraine Waatsa (Zuni), liz Wallace, lottie watchman,Laura Williams,Lonnie Willie,Lyle Watson,Leonard and lull weebothee are a start for your hallmark L.W. the chiseled stamp work appears possibly Navajo ,as well as ,the twisted wire work as it depicts the sun symbol..the heishi possibly Zuni..perhaps a collaboration. Hope this serves as a lead for you.
Ps..lull, should have been lulla, sorry about the typo, although neither she nor her husband are attributed to heishi. I would perhaps start with the first artist named :)
