9.5" Michael Wainwright/Sandra Baccus Amalfi Salad plate set. Selling the exact 4 plates shown all with no wear or damage. I'm not totally sure if this is the Turquoise Amalfi or a different color designed exclusively for Sandra Baccus whom was a very important collector of African American art among many other things, she donated her multi-million dollar collection after her death in 2012.All Michael Wainwright pieces are finished with real 24K gold and real platinum. These plates are heavy and beautiful. They measure 12.5" in diameter. Many of Wainwrights designs evolved out of studies in Italy, his love of nature, his appreciation of fine art. Because he comes from the Studio ceramic art world, he creates wabi-sabi (the art of imperfection)handmade details in every piece. Inspirations of late, include the Japanese technique of Kintsugi, (Mezza Collection) and artists such as Gustav Klimt, (Vienna Collection) among others. Wainwright created his first collection of tableware in 1991, the same year he founded his company. He initially sold his wares at street fairs and craft markets, but it wasn't long before he was discovered by high-end retailers. By 1995 Wainwright's collections were being sold in national and independent luxury goods stores across the country. Today, Michael Wainwright Inc. has evolved from a one-man operation to a well-established presence in the luxury goods marketplace. His designs can be found in such luxe stores as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales , as well as smaller fine home stores and boutiques. Wainwright is the sole designer of every piece in his collections. Regardless of material, almost all his work is finished with 24k gold or platinum, and all designed in his Great Barrington, MA studio.

Aaron/Norbert Peshlakai (Navajo) Modernist silver Tufa Cast/stamped concho belt. Absolute masterpiece created my a modern day master and his son approximately 25 years ago. Belt is unworn with no holes, No idenifying marks that I could find, likely a custom piece made for a good customer/friend. I have had other Peshlakai pieces that were not signed that came from important collections and were of the same unimaginable quality that just can‘t be duplicated by anyone. I‘m 100% sure the note on the back of this buckle is a correct attribution of this item. Smaller sized belt with weight and measurements in pictures. The actual belt is 28" to the last silver bar with another 24" of leather beyond that. So it will fit up to a 48" waist or so with a little leather left at the end, or can be cut shorter of course. The way it is strung now it would fit about a 30" waist perfectly without moving any of the conchos. 1 Buckle, 9 Bars, 8 Conchos. Conchos are hand stamped, Buckle Tufa Cast. Norbert Peshlakai (Navajo), the first of ten children born to Ben and Lydia Peshlakai of Crystal, New Mexico, entered this world on May 6, 1953. In Lydia, a well known weaver in the Crystal style, and Ben, a miner, carpenter, and laborer, Norbert saw a strong work ethic, which guides him to this day. As a child he attended boarding schools in Crystal, and later Tohatchi, New Mexico. Weekend trips home were usually when he was able to visit family and practice his then-favorite medium, painting; one of his first paid jobs was to paint windows with a Christmas scene. He went on to attend Jefferson Junior High and Highland High School, both in Albuquerque. At that time Norbert knew he wanted to pursue his love of cross-country running, in which he excelled. Upon graduating in 1972, he decided to attend Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. At Haskell, Norbert ran cross-country until he was sidelined by a knee injury, which forced him to quit the team. He decided to take art classes to fulfill his credit requirements. After meeting with his advisor, he decided to turn to his love of painting, though he inadvertently ended up in a trade class on house painting! His advisor suggested he take a jewelry class. Uninterested in jewelry, Norbert nonetheless took her suggestion; this was his first attempt to try his hand at silversmithing. He did not initially enjoy the class, and when his teacher Clint Leon could see that Norbert was failing, he pulled him aside and gave him specific assignments to bring his grades up. He learned soldering, overlay, inlay, enameling, lost wax, and hammering. He came to enjoy the medium, and soon created pieces on the side to sell for extra money. He took four more jewelry classes, and during a summer at home, he and his brother taught themselves tufa casting. An arm injury in 1974 caused Norbert not to return to Haskell, but he dedicated himself to jewelry-making and began accumulating basic silversmithing tools. A relative, Billy Tsosie, taught him how to make his own stamps, and thus began Norberts obsession with intricate stamping and texturing. These highly refined skills epitomize his style: designs are carefully planned and laid out to within a fraction of a millimeter. Designs are rich in detail but restrained, and stamps are struck so that the depth of stamping is perfectly even. Now with more than 300 handmade stamps and dozens of hammers for texturing, Norbert creates imaginative and often humorous pieces with the confidence of a master. Norbert met his wife-to-be, Linda (née Mullahan), also from Crystal, and they started their own family: Natasha was born in 1981 and Aaron in 1983. Linda and both children picked up hammers, stamps, and silver early on and still create beauty today, all in their own respectable styles. Natasha married Ben Patrick Haley, who is from a family known for their handmade silver beads. Their son Luke, now 12, works with his mom, dad, and grandparents, sharing the family legacy of peshlakai, or beeshligaiiliterally “white metal. Ken Williams, Jr. Wheelwright Museum

"Prelude-Trail of Tears," signed in the cast Fortunate Eagle (Adam Fortunate Eagle, a/k/a Adam Nordwall, Red Lake Chippewa, Minnesota, b.1929), dated 1988, numbered 1/ 24, bronze only: approx 13.5"h, 14"w, 9.5"d, wood base: 1.75"h, 45lbs. Nice large well cast low production bronze by an extremely interesting and gifted artist. Please excuse the bad pictures as I took them at storage because as much as I love this, it's really big. Adam Fortunate Eagle L.H.D. (born Adam Nordwall), hereditary member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, is a Native American activist and was the principal organizer of the 1969–1971 Occupation of Alcatraz by "Indians of All Tribes". Early life Born in the missionary section of the Red Lake Indian Reservation in 1929, Nordwall was the son of a Swedish man and an Ojibwe woman. When he was five, his father died, leaving his mother no choice but to send him and four other children away to boarding school. He attended the Pipestone Indian School in Minnesota[1] and the Haskell Institute in Kansas, where he took advantage of the time to improve many skills that would help him later in life as well as escape the Great Depression, famine, and disease that was running rampant on reservations at the time. There he met his future wife, the Shoshone Indian Bobbie. California years After their marriage, the Nordwalls moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1951. Nordwall worked as a licensed termite inspector and by the late 1960s owned his own company in San Leandro, the First American Termite Company. Although living a comfortable life, Nordwall felt that he and his family needed to learn more about who they were as Native Americans. He became more involved in local Indian affairs and became chairman of the United Bay Area Council of American Indian Affairs. It was at this time that he proposed the takeover of Alcatraz. In 1968, at the Bay Area Italian-Americans' annual San Francisco reenactment of Columbus' landing in America, having successfully lobbied to have the Indians portrayed by genuine Indians rather than costumed Boy Scouts, Nordwall flicked the wig off Joe Cervetto, playing Columbus, with his ceremonial staff in a symbolic scalping. After he donated an 18-foot totem pole to the city of Livermore in 1969, the city shortened it before installing it in a park, and Nordwall placed a curse on their sewer system until they restored the cut off section. Nordwall began to seriously plan the takeover of Alcatraz, and he met with Richard Oakes, a local student activist, at a Halloween party at Tim Findley's house in 1969. He proposed the date of November 9 and Oakes agreed to get as many students as he could.[4] Nordwall took care of providing transportation to the island. However, on the date, none of the ships were there and the press were wary of the Indians all dressed up in their tribal wear. Nordwall found a captain who seemed interested in the events of the day and talked him into providing transportation. He agreed but said he would not dock on the island, to which Nordwall agreed.[5] Once near shore, Oakes seized the moment and jumped overboard, followed by a few of his fellow students. Nordwall stayed behind and watched as Oakes and his band struggled to reach the shore. The captain returned to shore a little while later.[6] Nordwall was not satisfied with just having been around the island and wanted to go back. Oakes and his fellow students were returned by the Coast Guard, and Nordwall asked if they wanted to try again that night. So once again Nordwall, Oakes and some two dozen other Indians set off for Alcatraz. As they approached, stormy weather and a watchdog caused the captain to become wary. Oakes and three women managed to get off, while Nordwall was left on the ship with the remaining Indians.[7] On the day of the actual takeover Nordwall was out of town, but on Thanksgiving he came riding across the bay standing on the prow of his ship exactly like George Washington.[8] Although he never lived on the island, Nordwall helped from the shores and was able to assist those on the island and keep the press reporting on the occupation while at the same time bringing to light the plight of the Native Americans. Nordwall was still active in Native American affairs after the Alcatraz occupation. He served mostly as a liaison between the Bay Area Council and the press. Nordwall later taught Native American studies at California State University, Hayward.[1] In September 1973, on his way to the International Conference of World Futures, he descended from the plane in Rome in full tribal regalia and claimed the country "by right of discovery" in the manner Columbus had claimed America. Invited for an audience with Pope Paul VI, instead of kissing the papal ring, he offered his own ringed hand in return; the Pope grinned and clasped his hand. Nordwall filed for bankruptcy and left the Bay Area in 1975 after his pest control business incurred fines for environmental code violations and underpayment of taxes. Writing and film He wrote "The Alcatraz Proclamation to the Great White Father and his People", which states that the goal of the occupiers was to create a center for Native American studies, an American Indian spiritual center, an Indian center of ecology, and a great Indian training school, none of which came to be on the island.[10] While the occupation of Alcatraz seemed a failure on the surface, the federal policy of termination of all tribes ended in 1971, and self-determination became the new policy. Many consider the Alcatraz occupation the beginning of the "Red Power" movement. His 2008 book Heart of the Rock is the story of that "invasion".[1] Fortunate Eagle performed the voice of Sitting Bull in the feature-length documentary Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart.[11] He is also the subject of a feature-length documentary called Contrary Warrior: The Life and Times of Adam Fortunate Eagle[11] and wrote a book on his experiences as an Indian boarding school titled Pipestone: My Life in An Indian Boarding School. His most recent work, Scalping Columbus, is a compilation of his own anecdotes. He is the father of poet nila northSun. Later life Nordwall received his Indian name Fortunate Eagle from a Crow Indian when he was 42.[1] He now lives on the Paiute-Shoshone Reservation, where his wife was born; he has built a roundhouse out of tires and other recycled materials.[1] In the 1980s he won awards for his sculpture; he also makes ceremonial pipes and headdresses, and in 1987 was jailed and tried for selling eagle feathers. His criminal trial ended in a hung jury but he was found guilty and fined in a civil trial. He is a ceremonial leader and leading statesman for his people and is heralded as one of the greatest Indians of his generation.

Alabama "Feels So Right" Presentation Record framed Given to Tom Middleton. I have not examined this outside of the frame but I acquired it from Tom Middleton's(1953-2020) estate personally along with about 400 pairs of cowboy boots and everything cowboy imaginable. Selling this, what I assume to be a record that was framed and given by Alabama for the work tom did for the album. 19.5" x 21.5" framed, 12" x 12" sight. 5.5" wide plaque. In 1973, Tom found a catalog of instruments from Warehouse Music Sales in Fort Worth that contained multiple dobros. He sold his two guitars and used the funds to buy his first dobro. After it arrived, his life was never quite the same. If you ever had the pleasure to hear him play, you saw Tom doing what he loved. Before making his way to Arizona to continue his education, Tom worked as a towboat deckhand for the United Maritime Union on the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny Rivers. Tom received a BS in English Literature from Northern Arizona University. During his time in Flagstaff, he was a member of the Mormon Lake Hotshots on the Coconino National Forest. Bill Mack's "All Night Open Road" show from WBAP in Dallas kept him company at the Mormon Lake Guard Station. He became lifelong friends with several of his fellow firefighters and kept in contact with them the rest of his life. But music kept calling, and Tom began working for R.Q. Jones Resophonic Guitar Company in Wanette, Oklahoma. Now he wasn't just playing dobros, he was making them. In fact, he made one for a young dobro player named Jerry Douglas who is now widely regarded as "the" dobro player of our time. The dobro in question now belongs to the Music Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Jerry and Tom became good friends and whenever Jerry toured through Austin in recent years, they would take in some live music together at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon among other music venues. In 1978, Tom went to work for Peaches Records and Tapes in Oklahoma City, then The Handleman Company, and finally Pickwick Distribution Company in Dallas. These three jobs showed Tom the buying, selling, and distribution side of the music business. By 1985, Tom was working as a Print Production Manager at The Richards Group, an advertising agency in Dallas. He excelled at print production and would stay with it in Austin at both GSD&M and McGarrah Jessee from which he retired after 24 years shortly before his death. Tom's work in print production should not go unrecognized. There is no doubt that countless times you've seen ads, packaging, and products that he produced – you just didn't know it. He had a wealth of experience and knowledge and was always keen to share what he knew with young producers and creative types. When Tom retired, his coworkers, vendors, suppliers,

Albert & Josephine Vigil (1927-2009) San Ildefonso pottery vessel 4.25" wide x 3.5" tall, no damage or restorations, very minor exterior wear. Comes with tag from when it was last purchased. Albert & Josephine Vigil worked together on their pottery. They began making pottery in 1945. Josephine made the pottery and Albert painted the designs. Albert Vigil (1927-2009) was a nephew of Maria Martinez. He was also the son of noted San Ildefonso painter Romando Vigil, one of the members of the San Ildefonso School of watercolor artists and also know for his work with Walt Disney Studios. Josephine Cordova Vigil (1927-2001) was from Taos Pueblo and she moved to San Ildefonso when she married Albert. Josephine learned pottery making by watching her aunts-in-law Maria Martinez, and Maria’s sister Clara Montoya, who are considered San Ildefonso Pottery Matriarchs. Maria Martinez taught Josephine how to coil-shape the clay and Clara Montoya taught her how to polish the pottery before it was designed or painted. They began making pottery in 1945. Josephine and Albert used the traditional methods of hand-coil, polishing, and traditionally open fired pottery.

Albert Nells Navajo silver high grade turquoise, coral, shell, jet pendant. Nice contemporary Navajo pendant, no issues. Solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Albert Nells was raised in Cedar Springs, Arizona and now makes his home in Flagstaff with his wife, Marylou and their four children. He is a self-taught artist and started in leather work. Many of his jewelry designs come from leather applied to silver. Albert calls his signature technique “wire design with channel inlay. Albert considers himself a traditionalist, believing in the traditional Navajo ways. He participates in Navajo ceremonies in the “Beauty Way. One method the artist represents his culture in his jewelry-making is through the use of all-natural, four-color stones that can be seen in each piece he makes. These sacred colors of blue, red, white, and black represent the four directions and four sacred mountains for the Navajo people. One could consider Alberts work to have quite the modern, sleek design; while still having genuine cultural richness, Albert makes jewelry with an aesthetic that fits well in the contemporary world. His children do some jewelry work and enjoy painting. Albert shows his work at Indian Market, the Southwestern Art Festival, and The Heard Museum Show and he says he always takes home a ribbon.

Alfred J Bennett(1861-1923) British Pencil Signed Engraving Westminster Abbey. 17.75" x 13" framed. Slight discoloration only visible on border, clean frame. Alfred John Bennett (1861 – c.1923) was an Englishartist who worked in oils, watercolour and etching. Life and work Bennett was born in London which became a major source of inspiration to the artist. His paintings, drawings and etchings, more often than not, depicted well known landmarks of the capital city. In December 1889 Bennett married Catherine Avery (They had one daughter, Mary Catherine) and spent a short amount of time living with her family in East Hyde, Bedfordshire.[1] During this period Bennett worked as a Jeweller, whilst also regularly submitting paintings to the Royal Academy of which four were exhibited between 1861-1880.[1][2] After this success, Bennett left the jewellery trade and concentrated on his art, first moving to Thornton Heath, Surrey and then relocating his studio to Knebworth.[3][4] Exhibitions Bennett exhibited extensively, regularly contributing work to the Royal Watercolour Society (17 pictures) and British Institution (2 pictures) exhibitions.[2] A further painting titled The Hill Farm was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1916, and he achieved more success with solo and joint shows at the prestigious Walker's Gallery in New Bond Street, London in 1918 and 1923.[4] In addition, he also exhibited works at the Fine Art Society, New English Art Club, Grosvenor Gallery, International Society, and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.[3] Many of Bennett's works are found in public art collections, including two watercolours in the collection of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.

Allenroy Paquin (Jicarilla Apache/Zuni) Multi-stone channel inlay lizards beaded<br>Sterling necklace approx 22" long, 79.7 grams with no issues.<br><br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjw_iOVUyhM<br>above is a link to a video of the Artisan who made this piece being interviewed<br>15 years ago.<br><br>Allenroy Paquin is a jeweler who is known for his wonderful depictions of<br>lizards, frogs and sea turtles in silver and gold, often with beautiful inlay<br>work. He likes to incorporate humor into his work, as can be seen in his<br>wonderful lizard pins that are designed to perch on the wearer's shoulder, one<br>of his unique designs.<br><br>Growing up in Albuquerque, away from his father's Zuni Pueblo and his mother's<br>Jicarilla Apache Reservation, Allenroy was not always interested in his native<br>heritage, much less in making jewelry. In high school, he became interested in<br>fancy dancing, one of his favorite activities through today. At this same time,<br>his father took up jewelry making to support their family after being disabled<br>in an accident, but it still did not interest Allenroy. Instead, he earned a<br>degree in technical engineering. It was not until his father died several years<br>later, when his mother gave him his father's tools, that Allenroy realized this<br>was his inheritance and heritage. Today he considers his father to be his<br>strongest inspiration.<br><br>This feeling was reinforced one time when he was having a creative block. He<br>found a lizard in a shed he was cleaning, and was captivated by its colors and<br>shapes. "It was like someone told me, 'make inlay lizard jewelry.' I felt it was<br>my dad telling me to do that." It seemed logical after that to move on to<br>turtles and frogs.<br><br>Allenroy is interested in educating as well. His sons, Ignacio and Kyle, have<br>already started making jewelry, and have won awards for their work. Allenroy<br>also teaches school children about native heritage, trying to break down the<br>image of the "stereotypical Hollywood Indian." He performs a solo show that<br>incorporates storytelling, dancing and flute playing at schools. He would also<br>like to "be an inspiration to native urban Indians who have lost their<br>connection with their reservation or their native ties -- to help them find<br>there is something to connect them to that world."

Allison Lee - Navajo Sterling and turquoise pendant. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. Allison "Snowhawk" Lee (1958 - 2022) was an award-winning artist from Mexican Springs, New Mexico. He was a full-blooded Navajo and is the third oldest of eight (four brothers and three sisters). Allison lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his three sons, Wyatt, Kyle and Trent. He enjoyed spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping with his family. When there was a boom in Indian Jewelry in the early seventies, Allisons mother and uncle started making Squash Blossoms. At the young age of 14, Allison was asked by his mother to make a silver ring with a Turquoise stone. He made the ring well and so began his interest in jewelry making. Allison graduated from Tohatchi High School, during the summers he worked at various silver shops in the Gallup area, where he perfected the methods of silversmithing from the top silversmiths in the shops. Allison began competing in juried art shows back in 1988 and continues this tradition of competition throughout his life. He received many top awards, such as: Best of Division at the Santa Fe Indian Market, the George C. West Memorial Award for Excellence in Silver Jewelry (which he has won three years in a row), and at Indian Market in Santa Fe, NM. Allison was asked to join in on making a piece for the millennium sampler concha belt along with twelve renowned Indian Market jewelers. He was very honored to be chosen to participate in this collaboration. The proceeds of this auction benefited the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA). Sadly, Allison passed away in June of 2022. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on in his sons‘ beautiful jewelry. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and possibly higher content.

Allison Snowhawk Lee (1958-2022) Hand Hammered silver concho belt.. 45" total length, adjustable to any size below that. Extremely high quality with no issues. Each concho 1" x 2" with tabs not counting center rings. 15 conchos total. 184.8 grams. Allison Lee - Navajo Silversmith: Speaking of the silver and gold jewelry he hand crafts, Allison Lee's captivating voice is sincere when he says, "One time my uncle told me that everything we build comes from the earth, like the silver that comes from the earth, or the turquoise that comes from the earth. That is a lot of energy. You put it together and you put your heart and mind into a piece. Then sometimes a certain piece of jewelry- I believe- it is made for a certain person. I usually have a ring, or something, that stays with me for about two or three years, until the right person comes along. And then that person buys that piece. I believe that every piece of jewelry that I make is made for somebody out there- it's made for somebody special. Whoever might be having problems, or something like that. In essence, that energy helps that person get help, by wearing pieces that we make. That is the way I look at it."Born in the heart of the Navajo homeland, in the spring of 1958, Allison Snowhawk Lee attended boarding school until 8th grade. Lee is the last name given to him by the boarding school because they couldn't pronounce, spell, or translate his Navajo name; Snowhawk is his grandmother's name.Allison became involved in silversmithing in a high school art class, making his first simple jewelry pieces at age 12. When he was 14 years old his mother asked him to remove the last stone from an old turquoise brooch and make her a ring with it. Being able to combine old and new into something beautiful gave him a metaphysical sense of bridging generations, connecting him to his heritage and at the same time launching him into a viable vocation.During his high school summers he worked at silver shops in Gallup, New Mexico. His first job included sweeping floors, but as he worked he became acquainted with the top silversmith, and learned his techniques. Each summer thereafter he found a job in different shops, and studied under various masters. Now he is the master who owns a shop that employs high school age apprentices.When Allison graduated from high school in 1977 he won the "Most Artistic" award in his class of 160 students. That was just the beginning of his awards. Allison has won numerous honors in prestigious shows in seven different states. He is not only artistic, but very creative, and therein lies his greatest challenge. "A lot of people copy," he says, "and then pretty soon an original idea is being mass produced. I've got to keep ahead of them."Allison makes many different kinds of jewelry: earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets; and is best known for his elaborate concho belts. "I really like making concho belts," he professes, "and coming up with different styles."Allison uses either silver or, occasionally, 14 karat gold, and sets it with coral, turquoise, or other semi-precious stones. Hand fabricated, his work may be either stamped or contain bezel set stones. His favorite piece was a squash blossom necklace he made using tools he created.Allison goes on the road two or three times a month, for two or three days at a time, to market his work or attend shows. He also does demonstrations and seminars at Grand Canyon and other places. When he is at work in his shop he may put in up to 16 hours a day. "I take breaks sometimes," he confesses, "Sometimes I get burned out. That's the time to just walk away from it. That's when it's time to go outdoors, just to kind of refresh my mind."I go hunting, I go hiking. What I really love to do is go to old Indian ruins and just look around, see what I can find. In a way I get ideas from the old, and then try to come up with something new. Then I get back into it. Everything just starts coming together once I start making something. It just comes together in my mind."Allison is considered a success by all who are familiar with his work, but he has a different standard, set with his three sons in mind: "I think being successful is keeping everything balanced out between your family and your work. I think that's what being successful is, caring enough to spend time with your family, and not letting the work and the career overtake your life. I've seen a lot of people that have done that. I'm just glad that I've had people there to tell me the difference. Successful to me is just being happy and making sure my family is fed and clothed. That says it all, right there."

Alvin Monte Navajo 14k/sterling pendant. Solid 14k/sterling with no damage or significant wear. Navajo jewelry artist Alvin Monte works in both gold and silver, often making his own stamping tools to create one-of-a-kind designs. Born in Socorro, Monte grew up in Canoncito, New Mexico. Both his parents were well-known silversmiths but Monte didnt pick up the trade until he moved away from home. He is a self-taught silversmith. His inspirations often come from petroglyphs or pueblo designs although the execution of his designs is more symbolic than realistic. The result is a more modern verses traditional design that he likes to embellish with various stones including amethysts and garnets for a lustrous effect. Monte is now teaching his young son, who at age nine shows a talent for silver-smithing, thus elevating another generation of the Montes into the artist world.
