This bolo tie is a real showstopper! I date it from the mid fifties to early sixties. Sterling Silver and spectacular inlay with turquoise, spiny oyster, mother of pearl and jet. I acquired this piece when I was on a buying trip in Zuni, New Mexico. The inlay is in the Rainbow Man motif. There is information on Rainbow Man below. This bolo has been restrapped on a nice leather bolo cord.
