Raymond Gasper — Zuni Silversmith
Raymond Gasper is a Zuni silversmith identified in Hougart's hallmark reference as active since the 1940s, specializing in cluster work.
The Gasper family is well documented in the Zuni silversmithing tradition: Rose Gasper (active 1930s–1980s) shared a stamp with her husband Arlan Gasper and was the mother of Arnie and Duran Gasper; Dinah Gasper and Peter Gasper are also noted in our reference books for carved and set stonework.
