Vintage Zuni Inlay Bolo Tie
Helen and Lincoln Zunie (deceased)
Circa late 1940's or 1950's
Unsigned
This is the quality that made Zuni Inlay famous (although inlay is now
made by many people, it was the Zuni who began this style of
Southwest jewelry in the 1920's). Very thin gauge
silver and silver channels are perfectly filled
with beautiful Shell and Gemstones.
Thin gauge, silver, channel work like this is very difficult since the
heat necessary to lay the solder could easily melt or warp the silver.
The shell and gemstones are meticulously shaped and inlaid by
hand... electricity did not arrive in Zuni until
the early 1960's.
This is a wonderful example of Lincoln Zunie's and top quality
Zuni Pueblo work of that period.
Notice the fastener on the back is handmade (not a jewelry
supply store bought Bennett Clip) and the work itself is extremely
graceful as in the style of Frank Vacit, Lambert Homer,
Leo Poblano and Teddy Weahkee... the great Zuni
artisans who began it all.
A
rare find that will surely be a thrilling addition
to any collection.
3" tall x 2 1/2" long

get to the Zuni Pueblo until the 1960's
