Sadie and Morris Laahte are a renowned husband-and-wife team of Zuni Pueblo artists, recognized for their high-quality, precise channel and mosaic inlay jewelry. Active since the 1970s, they are best known for creating intricate, multi-stone, and shell inlay designs, particularly the Zuni Sunface motif. The Zuni Sunface is a significant symbol representing the sacred Sun Father, vital for the Zuni people's crops and daily life, depicted with a round face, rectangular eyes, a circular mouth, and radiating feathers, often with a forehead split in half (e.g., turquoise/coral) to symbolize sunrise/sunset or individuality within family. It signifies the sun's power to sustain life, bring joy, and represents the continuity of day and night, a core belief in Zuni culture. Zuni inlay jewelry history began with ancient lapidary traditions, evolving from shell/stone carving to incorporating silver in the late 1800s, heavily influenced by traders and Navajo techniques; by the early 1900s, Zuni artisans developed distinct styles like channel inlay, using tiny, precisely cut stones (turquoise, jet, coral) set into silver to create vibrant mosaic patterns. Mastery of turquoise, jet, shell, and coral allowed for vibrant color combinations and storytelling designs. The artist's "sunface" hallmark is stamped on the reverse . This beautiful watch band shows good condition overall with no signs of damage. Also included is a Legacy quartz watch. Measures 2.75" diameter, collective weight is 30.6 grams.
