Ambrose Namoki, Bolo Tie, Sterling Silver, Hopi Handmade, 36"

Description

Crafted by renowned Hopi silversmith Ambrose Namoki, this handmade bolo tie is a striking tribute to traditional Hopi overlay artistry. The sterling silver slide features a finely cut figure of a Kachina dancer in motion, flanked by traditional Hopi symbols representing rain and prayer for abundance. Namoki’s expert overlay technique—where the upper layer of silver is meticulously cut by hand and soldered over a darkened base—gives the imagery bold contrast and dimensional depth. Each detail is steeped in symbolism, honoring the spiritual and cultural roots of Hopi ceremonial life. The piece is mounted on a classic black braided leather cord with sterling silver tips, blending traditional design with wearable sophistication. Powerful yet understated, this bolo tie is more than adornment—it's a piece of living heritage.
