Tom Marsh Kachina Bolo Tie Turquoise and Coral Western Sterling Silver
This is Kachina and silver-work art at its finest. This impressive Kachina Sterling silver bolo tie was made by master artist Tom Marsh and is one of his early works. There are cabochons of blue green Turquoise and Coral adding color to this exceptional piece of art. This Kachina bolo tie 1-1/2" wide and 3-1/2" long. Kachinas (also spelled Katsina, the plural "katsinam") exist in Hopi and in Pueblo cosmology and religious practices.
In Hopi, the word Kachina (Katsina or Qatsina) means literally "life bringer", and can be anything that exists in the natural world or cosmos. A Kachina can be anything from an element, to a quality, to a natural phenomenon, to a concept. There are more than 400 different Kachinas in Hopi and Pueblo culture.
The 4-ply leather cord is approximately 44" long. Stamped Sterling.
