One of a Kind piece

Zuni bolo tie inlaid of black pen shell, Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona) and Kingman turquoise (Arizona).

This pendant represents Knife Wing, a the Zuni's War divinity half man - half eagle. We find him in many Zuni's tales, where he is easily recognizable by his large razor sharp feathers made of flint and his open legs, giving him an impressive appearance.

The Zuni inlay is composed of real stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and jet), cut, sculpted and assembled by hand with great care to create a pattern of the artist's choice. The whole is then polished, for a smooth and elegant finish. Admire the details of this Knife Wing and imagine the time and meticulousness required to produce such a creation: high-end Zuni silversmithing in all its splendor.

From Western movies to runway shows, the bolo tie is an emblematic accessory of the Southwest of the USA. In everyday life, the bolo tie will accessorize your outfit with strength and originality and on your Sunday's best outfit it can be a strong and good replacement for a tie or necklace.

Diameter of the inlay : 3.8cm (1 inch 1/2)

Braided lace in black leather, fastening system and points in sterling silver.

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
