Lena Quandelacy
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.
Overview
Lena Quandelacy is a Zuni artist documented for inlay work and Shriner motifs. Her marks are shared with Wilford Quandelacy, whose own entry records the same arrangement from his side.
Collector's caution: The W & L Q mark is a shared stamp — Hougart documents it under both Lena Quandelacy and Wilford Quandelacy. A piece carrying it cannot be attributed to either maker alone on the stamp; read it as the pair's mark.
