Iule (1916 - )
Lupe Iule was married to Horace Iule, with whom she collaborated.
Lupe continued to work after Horace's death in 1978, using her husband's
designs and molds and collaborating with her daughter Celia. Known
for his mastery of silvercasting, Horace Iule was one of the first
Zunis to produce the mythological Knife-Wing figure in silver. He
is best known today for his castwork crosses.
Lupe signs her work LUPE IULE.
