Description: This is a Rare & Fantastic Estate Fresh Sterling Silver Pendant and Bolo from a longtime collector of Southwest & Native American Pottery Art & Jewelry out of Los Alamos. This woman's husband worked at the labs and was part of the group that worked on the Atomic Bomb. He was busy, so she collected what she liked. It was a really nice collection of items that I was fortunate enough to buy a small portion of. This lot is for an absolutely Amazing 3 dimensional full bodied Sterling Silver Kachina Pendant and Bolo with Head dress Feathers and Bull Horns, Turquoise Eyes and Bull or Wolf Mouth. Its has a big collar over top the Shoulders and chest area which is beautifully adorned with a bead necklace and a Turquoise Stone Pendant himself, all accented with Tooling Marks and decor. This large piece is a whopping 3" tall, 2.25" across the horns wide and 1 3/8" thick mouth to back. Its just so impressive. I have never seen a piece like this, and its old. I know Benny Ration makes things a little similar, but this piece I am just positive was made before he was even born. Maybe his dad...dunno. This must have been a piece for a Medicine Man or Chieftain, but it certainly belongs to an important Native American.... not made for the tourist trade. It weighs a heavy 58.3g, has great detail and workmanship and to over state it again... its just AMAZING!! Where do you ever find a piece this fantastic?? For what its worth, the woman's daughter was adamant that this piece was written up in a magazine at one point in time, but she could not recall which one it was... for what that's worth. I paid a shot to buy this, but I never worried about buying great rare quality items. Its a pleasure to have while its just passing thru. Someone's gonna love it!!
