Bolo, Inlay, Shell With Various Southwest Stones, Peyote Water Bird, Hallmark, Vintage, 4011

A VIBRANT VINTAGE CREATION

This bold vintage bolo, crafted by Bobby and Corraine Shack, features a beautiful slide in the likeness of a Peyote Water Bird, crafted in intricate inlay using black onyx, turquoise, coral, shell, and mother of pearl. Sterling silver twist rope and drops complement the stonework, adding detail and dimension. The cord is a classic black braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. It’s an eye-catching piece on anyone -- guy or gal!
