Description

Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Kokopelli Brooch with Bolo Adapter – Al Yazzie

This unique vintage Navajo sterling silver brooch by Al Yazzie has been creatively adapted into a bolo tie, offering dual functionality as both a wearable pin and a striking bolo. The oval-shaped piece features a finely crafted overlay design depicting Kokopelli alongside traditional Navajo rain and corn stalk motifs, symbolizing abundance and fertility.

Features:

  • Material: Sterling silver, marked "Sterling" on the verso
  • Maker: Stamped "AL YAZZIE," confirming its Navajo origin
  • Design: Traditional Navajo overlay with Kokopelli and symbolic elements
  • Functionality: Originally a brooch, now attached to a bolo adapter for versatile wear
  • Cord: Rich brown braided leather with sterling silver tips

Measurements:

  • Total Length (with cord): Approx. 39" (99.06 cm)
  • Brooch Weight: 11.8 g
  • Tips Length: Approx. 2" (5.08 cm) each

Condition:

Good vintage condition with a natural patina. The bolo adapter is securely attached, and the leather cord remains in great shape. We’ll leave the polishing to the buyer’s discretion.

Why You’ll Love It:

This piece offers the best of both worlds—wear it as a traditional Navajo brooch or use it as a bolo tie for a Southwestern statement look. A fantastic addition to any Native American jewelry collection!
