Rare Native American Silver Fetish Animal And Bird Necklace Heavy 116 Grams. Here we have a flash from the past–a silver bead necklace with silver fetish beads of animals such as turtles, birds, badgers, fox and fish all interspersed among the silver tubular heishi, plus small round silver beads capping each animal. That design of liquid silver mixed with animal fetishes–it smacks of the 1970s! The fetishes are mold cast, and heavy. Since there are no sterling stamps–casting generally does not allow for a stamp–I did acid test one of the fetishes in an obscure underside of the long tail (since acid testing can leave a small lighter dot) and it did test positive for sterling silver. They have no hallmark, so while we can’t say for certain that they are Native American, we believe they are Zuni. The necklace is long at 34 total length end to end, and each of the 21 animal fetishes ranges from 3/4″ long to 1-1/4″ long. They are absolutely adorable and, again, have weight to them. A whopping 4 + ounces total or 115 grams. The piece is threaded on wire and ends with a hook and eye. The silver has a beautiful, kind of dark patina, and if you prefer I will be happy to give it a light polish. Very rare and hard to find extremely heavy great quality please see photos closely for condition and thanks for looking.

Vintage pre-mid 20th century Nunivak Island Yupik Bird Mask, probably Circa 1920s. The long winged pieces have been restored and re-dowelled and are in very fragile condition. There is one side where the hole in the mask has widened with age and has lost some of the original wood, so its in a state that needs some TLC. The original pigmented polychromed paint is in excellent condition and has been cleaned with mink oil to preserve the finish. Piece feels almost like its made of salty driftwood, but probably yellow cedar. This is a large mask and will look very nice hung on any wall or in any high end collection. The top of the head to the bottom of the spotted tail is 17 inches. From wingtip to wingtip is nearly 30 inches. Came out of an estate out of The Seattle area many years ago.

Jacob Halloo – Zuni. Sterling Silver, Turquoise, Jet, Coral, and Mother of Pearl. Belt Buckle and Bolo Tie Set! 3.0″ X 2.0″ (will accept a belt of up to 1.5). 48.9 grams = 1.57 Troy ounces. Bolo Tie w/ New Black Braided Leather Bolo Cord and Fancy Tips. 1.76″ X 1.4″. Fancy Sterling Tips 2.25 length. Lanyard length is 20″ X 2 = 40″. 33.0 grams = 1.06 Troy ounces. (all measurement are approximate). Zuni Jacob “Jake” Halloo Belt Buckle and Bolo Tie Set. This wonderful Belt Buckle and Bolo Tie Set was made by the famous and talented Zuni artist Jake Halloo. He became active in producing jewelry from the 1950’s. Husband of Lola Pinto Halloo, he is also the father of Jake Livingston and uncle of Dennis Edaakie. His daughter Rolanda makes jewelry of a similar theme, but hers have distinctive bird beaks that are radically bent downwards and backwards at the tips of the bird beaks. You may not be surprised to hear that Lolita Natachu and Nancy Laconsello also picked up some stylistic themes from their teacher Jake. This wild bird is variously described as a Gooney Bird (as in Albatross), Hopi Bird, and even as a Thunderbird. I’m not entirely comfortable with any of those descriptions. I’m a big fan of Joan Miro, the Spanish artist. Miro died in 1983. I like to imagine that Jake Halloo liked Miro’s work. These old pieces are Not stamped on the reverse side of both the Buckle and Bolo pendant with a hallmark. The Fancy tips are also Sterling Silver. I have found no defects like cracked or loose shells, noticeable scratches, etc. In the Belt, Bolo pendant, or the Bolo Tips. I have found no imperfections in the Mother of Pearl shells or stones. The inlay is tight and masterful! Please, look at the pictures carefully. The braided black leather bolo cord is New and it still a bit stiff. The Sterling Silver all has a heavy tarnish… The bolo tie clasp helps us date the set as being from this period and perhaps about half a century old. By the way, I’ve traded hundreds of bolos with Bennett clasps and this is the first one that I can remember seeing with this smaller manufacturers name stamped on the clasp. This set has been not been abused and is in quite remarkable condition for an old Buckle and Bolo set. I believe that you will be pleased! It is quite rare, and it is rare for me to say that. The workmanship is exceptional and fine. The Buckle and Bolo feature a stone on stone inlay (overlay-inlay) pattern of several Stone, Coral, and Shell color varieties. The Buckle and Bolo are each built up on a Sterling Silver base that has numerous pieces of these shells and stones set tightly into the intricate Sterling Silver cut out top frame form. I love the colors chosen and the composition of the shells, coral, and stone that creates such a radiant and intriguing pattern. You might be willing to bet that the surface has offset angles. Funny, it looks that way, but it is in fact extremely smooth when you run your finger across the slightly convex surface of the front. This is a highly desirable and magical museum quality jewelry set. This amazing Belt Buckle and Bolo Tie is full of character and may be immediately recognized by many people as quality collectible Native jewelry. When you take a look at the pictures, please inspect the bolo pendant and buckle carefully for the fine detail in both design and execution.
