BT68 Thunderbird inlay and silver Bolo tie Harpo

Zuni bolo tie representing Thunderbird, inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), black-jet, mother-of-pearl and coral.

Thunder Bird is a South West classic symbol for the Natives. It is represented as an impressive condor able to create thunder by beating its wings and lightning by blinking its eyes.

The handmade Zuni inlay is a gathering of different stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, black jet), carved and put together in order to create a thin geometrical pattern. The piece is then polished in order to give a smooth and elegant finish to the jewel. 

Metal slide clip at the back. 

Black braided leather with sterling silver tips. 

Dimensions of the Thunderbird : 3,5cm x 2,5cm

(1 inch 3/8 x 1 inch)

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
