A BEAUTIFUL BOLO FOR THE HORSE LOVER.
This Zuni Old Pawn vintage bolo has a very unique slide that features an inlay iteration of a horse profile made of mother of pearl and set in a cabochon of tortoiseshell accompanied by matching turquoise stones, surrounded by sterling silver stampwork details. The cord is a classic braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. Engraver’s pen on verso verifies it as from the famous Simplicio family, known for their horse inlay work.
Mike Simplicio (1937 - 1976; Zuni). Active 1950s - 1970s. Nugget work; appliqué. The late Mike Simplicio shared marks with his wife Sarah Simplicio. Son of Dan Simplicio.
