VB Lesansee Zuni Sterling Silver Owl Inlay Bolo Tie – Coral, Shell & Turquoise
This bolo tie is a fine example of Zuni artistry by Velma & Blake Lesansee, signed on the reverse VB Lesansee, Zuni N. Mex. The sterling silver slide features a bold owl design, a hallmark motif of the Lesansees, created in precise channel inlay using turquoise, coral, shell, and mother of pearl. The rectangular plaque is framed with hand-stamped silverwork and set on a Bennett Patent Pending slide.
The bolo is paired with a black-and-tan diamond-pattern braided suede cord, finished with sterling silver cones. The owl motif, often used by the Lesansees, symbolizes wisdom and protection and is a recurring theme in their highly regarded body of work, which has been documented in Zuni: The Art and the People and is represented in galleries and collections.
Condition:
Good condition, with stones secure in their settings. Light surface wear and tarnish consistent with age; polishing has been left to the buyer’s discretion. Cord and slide remain sturdy and fully functional.
Dimensions:
- Bolo: 2.06" x 1.75" x 0.15"
- Cord length: 36" including tips
- Weight: 34 grams
A distinctive signed Zuni bolo tie by Velma & Blake Lesansee—an excellent addition for collectors of Native American jewelry or anyone seeking a meaningful Southwestern accessory.
