Bolo, Inlay, Horse Profile, Turquoise, Simplicio, Vintage ‘50s, 3220

ADD A LITTLE AWESOME TO YOUR OUTFIT. 

This is a piece by the late Isabel Simplicio, the talented matriarch whose name you’ve likely heard if you’ve been a fan of DDR for long. The sterling silver slide features a striking inlay depiction of a horse in profile, crafted from tortoise shell and mother of pearl, accompanied by two stones of bright blue turquoise, all set in tiny serrated bezels. The cord is a traditional braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. A fun, unique piece for any cowboy or cowgirl!

 Isabel Simplicio (1928 - ?; Zuni). Mosaic inlay; nuget work. Wife of Chauncey Simplicio.
