This authentic Zuni bolo tie centers on a classic Thunderbird in flight, a symbol of power, strength, and protection deeply rooted in Southwestern tradition. Handcrafted by Zuni artists Leander and Lisa Moore, the piece showcases masterful flush mosaic inlay using mother of pearl for the body and wings, black jet for the feather accents, Sleeping Beauty turquoise for the highlights, and Mediterranean red coral for warmth. A sawtooth sterling silver bezel frames the bird, with traditional silver raindrop accents along the top of the wings.
The hallmark "LM" on the reverse is the signature of Leander and Lisa Moore, a respected Zuni duo celebrated for their precision inlay work and their ability to bring figurative subjects to life through stone. Set on a black braided leather cord with sterling silver bench bead tips, this bolo is as wearable as it is collectible.
