For your consideration is a Vintage Zuni Turquoise Inlay Sterling Silver Kachina Dancer Bolo Tie, signed "Zuni LL". This beautiful vintage bolo tie features a stunning Kachina Dancer figural design crafted in sterling silver and natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The intricate details of the Kachina showcase the wonderful and expert craftsmanship of the Zuni tribe. The Zuni tribe, now located in northwestern New Mexico, was the second Native American group to learn Mexican silversmithing techniques. Zuni artisans are renowned for their skill with inlay, a technique in which multiple stones are pieced together to form a single image. Zuni jewelry is a work of art and an expression of interconnectedness. Brightly colored stones speak to the wondrous beauty of the world around us. With braided leather cord, this bolo features hollow metal bead tip ends, a rich patina observed throughout the silver. A beautiful bolo tie. Measures 18"L.*
