Rare Horace Iule Signed Native American Old Turquoise Cross Pendant Silver

Bought this 25 years ago from a collector for our own wear. The cross pendant measures 3 long including the bale, which is large enough for this pendant to be on chain or a cord. A master silversmith, fine castwork, early piece with well matched turquoise stones and interesting chiseled silver decorations on the ends. The artist has his incised signature on the back, and this is one of his earlier pieces. He specialized in crosses, but the later one not as heavy a silver and less decorations on the cross ends. Fine age patina on the silver, and we have not polished this for the photos.
