Presented in this lot are Two (2) Puebloan Silver and Turquoise Bolo Ties, circa mid 1900s. The bolo tie is a classic western accessory, recognizable for its two decorative ends connected by a thin cord. It was created in the 1930s by Native American tribal silversmiths in Arizona and New Mexico. Both have braided black leather cords.The first bolo features a large bezel setting trapezoidal Cripple Creek cabochon surrounded by twisted rope, the bolo tips having "morning star" symbols on each tip. Signed on reverse by artist "TDuran." A very impressive tie. The second unknown artist bolo features a bezel mounted Sleeping Beauty petit point center surrounded by a design of rays proceeding away from the stone. The rim of the face features sun ray symbols. A very beautiful piece. The first bolo measures 21"L, the second is 18.5"L.
