Vintage Traditional
1960s Zuni Sterling Mosaic Inlay Bolo Tie
Item #: BNT1400 Our price: $275.00 |
This is a beautiful Southwestern bolo tie believed to be from the 1960s early 70s. Estate purchase from a veteran who lived in Arizona at that time. Zuni tourist trade and very appealing with what looks to be a Thunderbird motif.
Looking at a few similar pieces for reference, I believe the stones are Turquoise, Red Coral, Black Onyx, and Shell. The bird measures approx. 2" long, 1.25" wide. Original braided leather cord measures 18.25" looped not doubled. Tips measure approx. 1.75" long and silver as well.
Fun fashion statement or nice enough to give as a gift. Sterling silver slide or lock that adjusts easily. I don't find any markings, but I may be missing them. This and one other I will be listing from same estate appear to be very well taken care of and show very little wear.
