is the phrase in bold a direct object, an indirect object, or neither?

direct object indirect object neither

Explanation:

A direct object is the thing being acted upon, the recipient of the action directly. In the sentence, "bought" is the action; the new leather wallet is what was bought, making it the direct object. The indirect object would be "her husband" (the one who receives the direct object).

Answer:

direct object
