KN 1595
A very fine hallmarked box, set with a serpentine Leekya bear with turquoise eyes. A rare and wonderful combination—Patania Sr. was known to buy work from Zuni artists for his boxes, but a full Leekya fetish on one of his boxes is a rare treasure. Note the special silver rings made for the bear’s feet. Box measures 4 1/8” x 3 1/8”, bear measures 2” long, total weight 194 grams.
