Any information on Zuni artists Eddie Cirilli Lupe

Hey me again!

Sorry to be a pain again, but I know for sure this is a Zuni piece but I can’t find nothing at all on them, the picture doesn’t do it justice, I just love to know more about the artists, gives the piece more meaning

Thanks

There’s not much in Hougart’s on him, and a quick search didn’t give me anything online. Does it have a hallmark?

it looks like they are/were husband and wife, Eddie and Cirilli Lupe, and were involved with the Zuni Craftsmen Cooperative-perhaps they could give more info. (The ZCCA has a Facebook page, FYI)

Same as in the book, but can’t find anything

BigCountryUK · August 25, 2026, 4:44pm

Yeah I’ll drop them a message, thank you

Let us know what you find out! I’m not as familiar with Zuni inlay. Cool piece!

I’m no help, but I think that necklace is super cool!

Really beautiful necklace but, I know nothing about them

Similar work, not as elaborate as your lovely one

As soon as I here back, I’ll let you know!

The turquoise looks soo good in person and the way the necklace sits in the chest is something else

I love Zuni inlay, but am not familiar with this particular style. Cool, unusual piece, and appears to be beautifully done! The 5 drop pieces add a lot of pizzazz. Thanks for sharing it!
