Bernice Bonney

Possible attribution

The hallmark "BB" is a possible attribution to Bernice Bonney, not a confirmed one; the nation recorded is Navajo (Diné).

This attribution is uncertain. The link between this mark and Bernice Bonney is recorded in hedged or unconfirmed terms, so treat it as a lead, not a conclusion.

This mark is shared. “BB” is also recorded for Betty Bitsie and Bobby Becenti, so the mark alone cannot tell these makers apart.
