Saiyatasha, the Rain Priest of the North, is an important katsina whose only appearance is in the Shalako Ceremony. It is he who controls the weather, provides longevity to the people and protection from their enemies. Zuni informants once described his function as bringing long life to the Zuni people. His short right eye is to make the lives of the witches short and his long left eye is to provide for long life for the good people. During his period of impersonating Saiyatasha, the Zuni man holds a position of great responsibility, power and prestige and assumes the rank and importance of one of the major priests of Zuni. It is he who must decide the ceremonial calendar for the year and must watch over the phases of the moon for the full year. He sets the date of the Shalako Ceremonies and insures that they do not conflict with other ceremonial events. He must learn all of the lengthy prayers, chants, and speeches while attending nightly meetings that last from the Zuni New Year until Shalako. In addition, he is required to make journeys to springs from four to eight miles distant to offer prayers each month during the year. He must also pray to the sun each day and work to prevent the frosts of spring and fall since he represents a katsina who makes the days warm. This is an impressive rare vintage Zuni collectors piece. You are looking at a wonderful old 1950’s Zuni handmade Saiyatasha design bolo tie made of sterling silver and raised mosaic multi gemstone inlay. At first I thought this bolo was possibly a Leo Poblano piece then I found a matching published bolo made by the talented Dexter Cellicion (see picture#1). So we will stick with Cellicion. Notice the details on this tradition Native treasure piece. Also notice the awesome BIG sterling bolo tips. Bolo weighs a solid 42+ grams. Hard to find older handmade pieces like this. A must have for you bolo & early Zuni jewelry collectors. This Bolo will make a great addition to any Native American collection. Take advantage of owning a super rare museum piece.
