Description

This Vintage Zuni Inlaid Pendant/Bolo features an impeccable inlay of Mother of Pearl, etched Turquoise, Coral and a variety of etched shell. Depicting a quail standing next to a cactus in bloom, with his beautifully detailed work bringing this lovely bird to life. A stamped & notched border adds the final touch to the design. A choice piece from Elliot Qualo, who is considered amongst the best in stone to stone inlay. Hallmarked with his double antler stamp and Zuni NM. His brief career only lasted from 1960's to 1979.

The piece is a significant size, measuring 3" in diameter. Both a shepherds hook and double loop bolo back offers two wearable choices. A silver hand crafted chain and leather bolo strap with same era silver tips will accompany the purchase. Note: A rare, beautiful matching ring is also available under vintage rings.
