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

$2485

This is an original, high quality H L Zunie bolotie (not an imitation).
It is in excellent, like new condition.
