Bolo, Inlay, Horse, Simplicio, Vintage, 3150

SIMPLICIO SAYS IT ALL

The Simplicio family has long been revered for their talents as jewelry artisans, and this bolo attributed to Isabel Simplicio is a master class in understated intricacy. The textured sterling silver is centered by a striking inlay image of two horse heads in profile crafted from bone and shell, complemented by sterling silver drops and appliques. The black cord is a classic braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. This Simplicio bolo literally says it all.
