Nicholas Gambino (Morongo Band of Mission Indians) worked at the White Hogan during the early 1970‘s. He obviously was a experienced silversmith that created the desired designs of the White Hogans style of jewelry. Lead by mentors, such as Kenneth Begay and the Kee brothers, jewelers working at the White Hogan produced an amazing array of modern designs in jewelry and flat ware. This buckle depicts this style of work perfectly.
