Description
 
This lovely Morenci turquoise bolo tie was hand-crafted by Zuni artist Alice Leekya Homer. Active: mid to late 20th century. The stones are slightly raised channel inlay, with what is called a fish scale design. Alice and family were well-known for this style of inlay. Alice was the daughter of Leekya Deyuse. The workmanship is perfect on this piece and the wonderful color changes of the turquoise from age in is beautiful! Beautiful silver work frames the inlay. A very nice bolo that looks lovely on. Not Hallmarked, as her early pieces were not hallmarked. But comes with strong attribution.

The bolo measure, 2" tall by 1 1/2" wide. The bolo has great, heavy hand-crafted bolo tips that are 1 1/2" long. The total length of the braided leather including tips is 35" long.
