Dale Edaakie, Shell Zuni Inlay Bolo Tie w/ Buck and Doe Design, vintage Native American (JF72)
Gorgeous sterling silver Zuni inlay bolo tie with etched buck and doe design by Dale Edaakie. This flush-inlay piece features incredibly lifelike details etched into pin or pen shell, clam shell and black jet. Strap is a flat leather piece at the neckline attached to woven black leather straps. Plain sterling silver tips are held together with an etched silver piece that is a duplicate of the slide design. Both the slide and tip are stamped with Dale's hallmark and the date of 1980.
Dale Edaakie is the son of Dennis & Nancy Edaakie, the famous Zuni inlay jewelers, and the third generation in a prominent family of inlay jewelry artists at Zuni Pueblo. While Dale Edaakie’s parents are best known for their amazing bird inlay, Dale has taken his work one step further by adding wildlife to his repertoire. He was inspired to do so after seeing an impressive elk standing by the side of the road. Today, Dale considers himself a “wildlife artist,” creating fabulous inlay pieces with stunning detail.
