Wilbert Muskett Sr., Bolo Tie, Kingman Turquoise, Sterling Silver, Navajo, 44"

This striking bolo tie by Navajo silversmith Wilbert Muskett Sr. features the powerful symbolism of a bear claw motif, meticulously handcrafted in sterling silver. At the heart of the design, two polished cabochons of vivid Kingman Turquoise radiate their sky-blue brilliance, each stone enhanced by its natural matrix patterns. The silverwork is masterfully stamped and accented with a twisted rope border, framing the intricate cutouts that represent strength, courage, and protection. The bold, oval-shaped slide sits atop a supple braided leather cord, balancing rugged elegance with cultural tradition. Muskett’s work is celebrated for blending traditional Navajo symbolism with clean, refined silversmithing techniques. The Kingman Turquoise, sourced from one of Arizona’s most famous mines, adds both historic and aesthetic value to this collector’s piece.
