Vintage Ralph & Lillie Kallestewa Zuni Sterling Silver Multi-Stone Bolo Tie
Vintage Zuni bolo tie by renowned husband-and-wife artists Ralph and Lillie Kallestewa, expertly crafted in sterling silver and adorned with intricate multi-stone inlay. The circular slide features a striking sunface motif, a traditional Zuni design symbolizing harmony and balance, rendered in finely cut segments of turquoise, jet, mother-of-pearl, and coral. The precise stonework is arranged in a radiating geometric pattern, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and symmetry.
The bolo is set on a black braided leather cord, finished with sterling silver tips that echo the quality and attention to detail of the centerpiece. The silver frame is subtly detailed, providing a refined border that enhances the vibrant inlay without overpowering it.
A beautiful example of Zuni artistry, this piece reflects both cultural significance and masterful lapidary work, making it a distinctive and collectible accessory.
