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.

Very Rare Native American Sterling Silver & Turquoise Stones Cross
VERY RARE NATIVE AMERICAN STERLING SILVER & TURQUOISE STONES CROSS. Even though this piece in not marked, I believe it to be an early Horace Iule Zuni piece. Perhaps Horace Iule did not sign his earlier pieces? In my research, I found several pieces stating they were made by Horace Iule, but they were not signed. Or this may be a different artist altogether. Please see other Native American Jewelry in my store. TESTED STERLING CROSS & CHAIN (see photos). If this piece is an Iule piece, here’s an Insert from Kennedy Museum of Art. Horace Iule (Aiuli) c. As early as 1944, when John Adair’s groundbreaking study of Southwest Native American silverworking titled The Navajo and Pueblo Silversmiths was published, Horace Iule had achieved a level of success that enabled him to rely upon his craft for his livelihood. Identified by Adair as “one of the two or three best artisans in the pueblo, ” Iule taught silversmithing at Zuni’s government-funded day school, thus influencing an entire generation of silverworkers. A third-generation silversmith whose grandfather Hatsetsenane (or Sneezing Man) was, according to Adair, “one of the first generation of Zuni smiths, ” Iule initially trained as a blacksmith at the Phoenix Indian School. Iule learned silversmithing from his father after completing his education and returning to the pueblo in 1924. Horace worked with his wife Lupe Iule, who was from San Felipe Pueblo. They were married in 1933, and had six children: Ruby, Lupe, Cecilia, Robert, Barney, and Phillip. Known for his mastery of silvercasting, Horace Iule was one of the first Zunis to produce the mythological Knife-Wing figure in silver. He is best known today for his castwork crosses. Iule taught casting to his daughter Lupe Iule and her husband George Leekity, and they still produce cast crosses from Horace’s original designs. When George and Lupe do their own work, they stamp it Leekity. ” When they use Horace’s molds, they stamp the pieces with “Iule. Horace’s sons Barney and Philip also do casting, as does Lupe’s daughter Rosella. In the early 20. Century, it was common in nearby Gallup, N. For traders to commission native silversmiths to make jewelry. Traders would supply some materials, and then only pay Native American artists in credit. Iule didn’t like that arrangement. He traveled to Gallup, N. Iule taught his wife Lupe silversmithing and together their work became highly sought by collectors. Historians credit Iule with being the first Zuni artist to put the Knifewing (half man, half eagle spirit) design to silver. He worked into the 1970s and passed away in 1978. Horace’s art lives on in the generations of Native American artists he inspired and taught including those of his children: Wilbur Iule, Ruby Iule, Lupe LeeKity, Cecilia Iule, Robert Iule, Barney Iule, and Phillip Iule. Some of his other students include: son-in-law George Leekity, cousins Raymond Watson & Jerry Watson, David Tsikewa, Okweene Neese, Benny Hamona, Louie Waseta, Jack Weekoty, Annie Gasper, and his Zuni Day School students. A little over 2 wide. 1.559 ounces overall with chain. 1.329 ounces without chain. Condition: The very first stone at the top of the Cross appears to have a crack going through it and the side looks like a piece cracked off. A Jeweler can easily fit another stone in it–I cleaned it a little with Silver Polish, but still n eeds cleaning and/or servicing. Any defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as “described”. PLEASE let me know if you need to get it sooner.

Rare Native American Vintage Spiny Oyster Sterling Silver Cross, Signed L. Bahe
This listing is for a large and unusual vintage sterling silver purple spiny oyster cross pendant. The stones are perfect and smooth; although, it could use some cleaning. The cross stones are set in a shallow shadowbox setting with silver stamped dots around the center stone and a stamped Navajo design around the entire outer edge. The back is marked “Sterling” and signed “L Bahe, ” possibly for Lorraine Bahe Livingston, described as a. A full-blooded Navajo from Kinyaa’áanii (the Towering House clan). (Water’s Edge clan), she lives in the small community of Superman Canyon on the Navajo Indian Reservation just outside of Gallup, New Mexico. The cross measures 3 3/8″ long, including the attached bail, by 2″ wide and weighs 43 grams. The bail is large but somewhat narrow but can accommodate a large chain or 5-6mm beads. The purple stones used in this cross are purple spiny oyster, but I don’t know what the cream colored stones are, possibly also spiny oyster or white turquoise. I’ve never seen a cross quite like this.

ROLLING LOG / SWASTIKA. 22 STERLING CHAIN NECKLACE. 16.3g STERLING SILVER. THE SWASTIKA DESIGN INDICATES IT WAS MADE BEFORE 1940. The symbol became a very popular design element representing good luck and was prevalent in period architecture, advertising, jewelry, and on good luck tokens. The Arizona Highway Department even used it as part of their emblem. Because of its popularity, traders encouraged Indian artists to use it on their crafts made for sale to the tourist trade. The design often appeared on silverwork, textiles, pottery, and basketry. Beginning in 1934 East Coast dealers of Indian goods urged reservation traders to discourage native craftspeople from using the swastika as a design element because of its adoption by the German Nazi Party.
