Ike Austin Wilson KachinaBolo Tie

This is a stunning bolo tiemeasuring 3 7/8” high x 2 3/8” wide. Theaiglets are 2 7/16” high. The braided cord is 18\" long from the back of the neck to the tip of the aglets.This piece waspurchased at the Fred Harvey shop at the Furnace Creek Inn, Death Valley, inthe early 1980’s. My research shows a fair amount of contradictory informationregarding noted Navajo artist Ike Wilson, his name and maker’s mark. I believethe maker’s mark stamped on the back is an early version of Ike Wilson\'s mark and thatthe piece was crafted pre 1942, his date of death. His later pieces have a similar mark, an arrowwith a “W” shaped bow, but it is more modern. I cannot provide any certain provenance but I do know this is an extraordinary quality piece! This rare bolo is in amazingcondition with lovely turquoise stones, skillfully set and the silver has abeautiful patina. The hand braided black leather cord has a nice softness andthe silver tips or aglets are also set with gorgeous organic shaped naturalturquoise stones. It is a fabulous quality piece, with exceptional craftsmanship,of Native American wearable art, for the serious collector.
