ABOUT THIS PIECE: 

This striking Eagle Dancer bolo tie reflects the bold, oversized aesthetic that defined the mid-to-late 1970s Southwest revival, a period when large figural bolos emerged as iconic statement accessories. Created by renowned Anglo-American artisan Kay Johnson, the design draws inspiration from the Eagle Dancer kachina, a revered symbol within Native American ceremonial traditions.

Seven high-grade turquoise cabochons—sourced from the American Southwest and informally identified as Blue Gem—anchor the design with vivid blue tones. Five red-orange coral accents introduce contrast, adding a touch of warmth to the overall design. A rich, organic patina developed naturally over time is evident throughout, with the slide, ferrules, and tips aging in harmony.

Johnson’s layered, sculptural silverwork features intricate overlapping elements that create depth and movement, lending the Eagle Dancer an expressive, almost animated presence. The thick, braided leather cord is finished with heavy-gauge sterling silver ferrules and tips, providing substantial weight, balance, and a confident drape.

Symbolic and meticulously executed, this vintage bolo tie carries a commanding presence and unmistakable period character. A powerful statement piece suited for both men and women who value exceptional craftsmanship, cultural influence, and standout Southwestern design.

PERFECT FOR:

• Collectors of signed Southwestern jewelry
• Vintage bolo tie enthusiasts
• Those seeking extra-large bolo ties
• Southwestern style lovers
• Admirers of kachina-inspired designs
• Anyone valuing 1970s revival-era craftsmanship
• Men or women who appreciate unisex, conversation pieces
