This piece measures 3-3/8\" tall x 1-3/4\" wide. It\'s in great wearable, vintage and collectible condition. All wonderful natural stones, some rare to see in a bolo. Elaborately excellent inlay work, too. It is actually hard to distinguish these from similar in the CG Wallace catalog made by Leo Poblano, but this is John Lucio\'s masterful work as artist. There was a time the Zuni did have snake ceremonial dancers but not for a very long time and the Hopi still have them. This is an important ceremonial piece though not currently part of the Zuni Shalako ceremony. It is however, part of the Hopi ceremonials and represented here by the great Zuni artist, John Lucio. This bolo is one of the most gorgeous pieces. It is unsigned and not marked for silver content as is usual for those times. There\'s a trader\'s code on the back, only, The attribution is certain however and the silver is at least coin at.900 or more likely .925 sterling. Hand made wires hold the leather well. Pre-Bennett days, of course.The nice soft leather is about 40-1/2\" end to end with the tips included. There is the finest inlay used here; it\'s breathtaking as is the choice of stones which includes spondylus with beige in it and abalone. There is delicate detail in this work that is very refined and sophisticated. This is one of the finest bolos I\'ve owned. You will adore it when you see it in person. It is museum quality and suitable for the best collections. I commend it highly. Not only is the bolo the best but the tips are unique and very valuable in themselves. This bolo is a \"best example\" and really wonderful!
