Diane Deyo Signed Southwest Style Leather Lamp Shade

This is a hand-painted leather lamp shade featuring a four-sided tapered pyramid (mission style) silhouette. The piece is constructed from multiple rawhide or treated leather panels that have been whip-stitched together along the edges using dark leather lacing. The surface is adorned with a vibrant, geometric Southwest or Native American-inspired motif, consisting of bold zig-zags and diamond patterns in a palette of turquoise, violet, crimson red, and black against the natural cream-colored leather background. The top panel clearly displays a handwritten signature that appears to read 'Diane Deyo'. The craftsmanship suggests a custom or artisan-made piece, likely dating from the late 20th century. Condition-wise, the leather shows minor natural texture and slight age-toning, but the paint remains bright and the lacing appears structural and intact without significant fraying. The interior likely contains a wire frame common to these styles. The overall quality reflects a high degree of manual decorative skill and deliberate aesthetic coordination.
