Bolo Tie Bear

By Eddington Hannaweeke

Animal: Bear, Material: Sodalite
This offering is sold.

Sporting a hand-stamped sterling silver and coral bolo tie, Eddington Hannaweeke's Bear is dressed for success. He comes from a family of jewelers so incorporating those skills in a hand-fabricated small bolo tie for this delightful fetish carving is really unique. Early bolo ties originated in the 1900s by Indigenous men from Zuni Pueblo, Hopi Pueblo and Diné. They would tie bandanas around the necks secured with string and decorated with shell additions. Standing at roughly 1 3/4" tall, 1 3/8" wide and about 1 1/2" deep, this bellied bear has been carved from sodalite and has red coral inlaid eyes.
