This is an exceptional large Kachina sterling silver bolo tie set with turquoise from master silversmith Harold Boyd. The piece is likely Navajo Harold Boyd's finest work of silversmithing art which shows a very large Kachina dancer pattern having a spanning feathered headdress, horned kachina dancer with turquoise set crown, round shield like pattern below the head and an articulated bow and three piece circular piece. The kachina bolo tie is signed on the back "H BOYD" and "Sterling" stamped into the piece as well as "Harold Boyd" written on the back as well. The piece shows three polished cabochans of gem quality turquoise set in sterling silver above the kachina dancer's head from the Bisbee Turquoise Mine. The bolo is on a thick large black leather strand which is beauitfully braided with a nice smooth and comfortable back leather neck and on the end two large sterling silver tips. The tips have a discoidal sterling concho end with tapering rolled sterling long tips having a stamped finish. One of if not the best bolo tie we have offered for sale and is truly a wearable work of art. The piece carried a retail price of over $4,000. The bolo itself measures 4 1/8" by 4 1/8" by 1.25"D. The bolo strand is 44"L from tip around to tip and hangs 22"L when laid flat from the back of the neck to the end of both tips together. The tips are 2.25"L. Total weight of 172 grams.
