For your consideration is a Zuni Native American Sun Face silver bolo tie. This tie is constructed of black braided leather with sterling silver aglet tips. The bolo is a fantastic example of Zuni craftsmanship. The image depicts an intricately inlaid onyx, turquoise, mother of pearl and branch coral design with silver bead accents. The design represents the sacred Sun Father. The Zuni have always honored the Sun’s vital role in the cycling of seasons and the success of crops, recognizing that the Sun’s warmth sustains life, enables growth, and brings joy and prosperity to the people. The symbol’s round motif depicts the Sun with a forehead split down the middle to reflect the eternal balance between sunrise and sunset. Rectangular eyes and a round mouth complete the face, and the whole is encircled by feathers that radiate outward like sunlight. The gems are set on a sterling silver backing. The bolo measures 2 3/4" round.
