South Willard Holiday Art Sale-this weekend only/mainly~thanks to Jason and Karin for the rustle...no festivities, rolex forum circle jerks or clowning-just good weird stuff from L.A.
Carol Kee ring~1970's Zuni Charlie Brown, abalone/tortoise shell...from the bowl on Sunday-I looked at this for months, then is vanished, then it returned.
Got super lucky for getting one year older this year-Les went straight to the Wizard for these deep finds. Navajo bracelets-both dating between 1890-1910 hand forged ingot coin silver-the first one being either a leaf or snake design...I've seen this motif on early pieces sometimes surrounded by a paisley type border-I like the subtle rounded quality of the form having been punched out from the back. Second one is a solid pulled ingot wire with either chiseled or filed lines and punched o's with repeated punched design at the terminals-it's heavy-you can see where the silver has been folded on the interior.
