I just bought this from a woman who is downsizing her massive Native American jewelry collection. I only have her pictures to use but the one of the back looks like it might have a pictograph hallmark. I’m hoping someone will recognize it. My other questions are any ideas about the origin of the turquoise, and it the rams head was individually made or bought and applied. It seems pretty detailed from the pictures. Thanks for your help. I need to add a higher resolution picture or two.
Thanks. It was supposed to be for my Dad but it’s about 4” long (definitely over his size preference) so it will probably be hanging around my neck. It was just too cool to pass up. Hoping I can find out some more about it.
Thank for finding that, TAH. I was searching the old posts, cause I was feeling like I had seen a ram’s head like Islandmomma’s on here, but obvs was using the wrong search words.
I love bighorn sheep, so that’s pretty cool, Islandmomma!
All I can see in that blown up pic of the hallmark is a tadpole… or a pliers… (We have a curved handled pliers)
That may have been the cuff I posted a long time ago. The ram head was much smaller and not as detailed. It’s in the appraisal section and starts with Massive rams head cuff.
Thanks. I guess that solves the question of manufactured vs hand cast. I think it’s still going to be a great bolo. You’ll probably see me from a half mile down the road. Lol
Yes sir. I knew it was still here somewhere because it came up when I started posting the bolo. Turquoise is totally different but I’ll probably wear them together anyhow. Thanks for finding it.
That’s cool. I like the turquoise going all the way around. If you have a chance will you please take a look at the cuff I posted? It’s in identifying category. Thanks
