JIMMY HARRISON YEI INLAY BOLO TIE

This is Jimmy’s masterpiece bolo. The bolo face depicts a beautiful Yei mask above a full bodied Navajo Yeibechai. The Yeibechai is a sacred symbol to the Navajo, representing the benevolent supernatural being bringing healing powers to medicinal ceremonies. The inlay has a jet black back ground as a night sky with twinkling stars represented by gleaming droplets of sterling silver. The mask and the Yei were created out of turquoise, faustite, spiny oyster, jet, white and golden lip mother of pearl, rhodonite and coral. Small triangular segments were set among the sacred colors at the bottom of the piece representing the four directions. This beautiful bolo face sits on a fine handmade black cord finished with sleek handmade tips. The tips have square ends inlaid with sky blue turquoise completing the piece to perfection.
