About the work
The pieces shown here are the work of Edna Leki, a Zuni artist, photographed from necklaces in the T.Skies gallery. Each is a multi-strand fetish necklace — rows of small birds hand-carved from turquoise, coral, jet, spiny oyster and shell, strung on fine shell heishi.
Edna Leki works as a carver, so her pieces are identified by their carving and by the gallery's firsthand record rather than by a stamped hallmark.
Additional biographical details are not yet confirmed for this entry.
