CATCH A KACHINA
Doris Smallcanyon has brought a Kachina figure to life in this traditional bolo. The Kachina has a scalloped sterling silver headpiece and sterling silver drop details. Sitting atop his head piece are three turquoise cabochons that match the turquoise stones placed in his eyes. At the bottom is a single turquoise cabochon. The Kachina bolo is placed on a traditional leather bolo cord that is tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes. This bolo makes a big and bold statement for anyone who wears it.
