Jose & Dora Massie, Buckle, Multi-Stone, Sterling Silver, Zuni Handmade, 2"

Handcrafted by renowned Zuni artisans Jose and Dora Massie, this sterling silver buckle is an extraordinary example of traditional Sun face inlay artistry. Featuring a harmonious combination of turquoise, spiny oyster, mother of pearl, and jet, each stone is precisely cut and set to form a radiant mosaic that symbolizes balance, harmony, and the life-giving energy of the sun. The central Sun face is surrounded by petal-like segments and accented with sterling silver beading, adding depth and dimension to the design. The vibrant colors of the stones are beautifully balanced, with warm oranges and cool blues creating a striking visual contrast. Every detail reflects the Massies’ masterful skill and the centuries-old Zuni tradition of intricate stone inlay work.
