Greetings turquoise people! A quick bit about me…I’ve been collecting, trading, buying & selling for many years now, about 40 years. I love what I do and whenever I do sell, I prefer to be as thorough as possible. I think this is most likely a piece I will keep…you just don’t find them like this very often.
Looks like I’ve got the back as the first pic…apologies for that. Zuni Sunface, initials R.L. I have a pretty good gut feeling about this piece but would like to see what the community here thinks.
Late last night I actually found the signature R. Lateyice! I haven’t had a chance to find who that was and so grateful to you Saef. Thank you. I haven’t heard this name yet and for some reason I thought when I found the name, that it was a female. But I see now I was wrong about thatl I also see I didn’t even put measurements in my description here. I think I was so excited over finding it that I just wanted to know who made it!
Thanks again for your info. Now I’ll be seeking out just who Randolph Lateyice was. I imagine this piece is from somewhere around the 60’s maybe early 70’s because of the hand made chain here. What’s your take on the timeline?
Ah, it’s you again! lol. I thought if I responded to your reply from my email, that it would post here…I guess I was wrong. This is great to know. Thanks so much, I really do appreciate that! My original thought about the dates and who’s, was a bit off but the beauty has not changed! I get a lot of comments about it when I wear this one! All good
