Cherished White Face Hereford Bola Tie & Buckle Set
Lincoln Zunie
- About The Cherished White Face Hereford Bola Tie & Buckle Set
Made by Lincoln & Helen Zunie
Mill-rolled ingot silver sheet and drawn wire were used to fabricate the channel framework for inlay in both the bola tie and buckle in this matched set. A commercial Bennett clip was supplied for the tie and hinged bar was used for the buckle.
The sweet-faced Herefords were created using a sunset red abalone shell, exterior for the red portions of the coat and ears. Interior of the same shell was specially selected and cut for the horns. White pearl shell-cut, carved and accented with a home-made paint gives life to each bovine beauty. An intense, natural blue turquoise was used in the buckle border as well as each "headstall" indicating a prized creature of significant paternal stature.
Fine black leather lace was hand braided for the tie cord.
