Hello, any ideas on this silver bolo? It isn’t marked.
It is old. Can you give us any background, when, where you acquired, the story? It is going to be difficult to find information. You might see if you can pick up a copy of Native American Bolo Ties by Norman Sandfield.
Hi Jason,
I picked this up a an estate sale a few months back. No back story I’m afraid. Do you know what the character is? Tribe?
I imagine this is Navajo made. The figure maybe most resembles a Zuni Rainbow Man

But I wouldn’t argue if someone believed it to be a Yei’
Thank you. I think you’re right about Navajo Yei!
