A TREMENDOUS TRIO OF CHIEFS
This vintage piece is a fun take on the traditional bolo. It features three beautiful slides in the likeness of Comanche chiefs. Each is crafted in intricate channel inlay using stones of onyx, turquoise, coral, and mother of pearl, outlined in sterling silver. The cord is a braided black leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. Truly a fun and different take on the classic bolo, you will want to add this one to your collection.
