Identification of Zuni Sun Face Ring

Identifying & Discovering
1

Hi,

I have 2 rings that I bought at yard sales that I’m trying to identify and possibly find out their value. The first is a Zuni sun face ring. The back is stamped “Sterling” and has a block capital signature “Laate”. Is this the work of Morris Laate? I’ll do another post for the second ring. Thanks.

Here is the second ring. It has no markings, but tests as sterling silver. I have not been able to find anything that resembles it online. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I found a pair of earrings that look like the style, http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZUNI-SILVER-MOSAIC-INLAY-CUFFLINKS-SUN-FACE-SADIE-AND-MORRIS-LAATE-LAAHTE-/140743155823 putting the ring around $60 I iamgine. The unique second ring is really different, I don’t believe it Native American made, but would guess it to be around $45. Thanks for sharing
