FOR THE TRUE HORSE LOVER

This impossible-to-ignore bolo was crafted by the renowned Zuni husband-and-wife team, Helen and Lincoln Zunie; their work is highly coveted and collectible. This classic bolo features a horse head in profile, crafted out of inlaid shell, turquoise, and coral stones with sterling silver details. It is placed on a classic brown braided cord with classic sterling silver aiguillettes. A fun traditional piece for the true horse lover.
