    FEDERICO JIMENEZ CHANNEL INLAY KNIFEWING BOLO with MATCHING TIPS
    DESCRIPTION:
    This is an exquisite bolo
    by legendary Oaxacan artisan Federico Jimenez.
    Federico always utilizes the finest natural gemstones, much of it from old mines and collections long since depleted.
    FEDERICO JIMENEZ was born in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1941 in a Mixtec Indian Community.
    He came to the USA in 1967 to study and work.
    He studied jewelry making and design at the University Community School.  In 1970 He and his Wife Ellen Belber Jimenez took a trip to the  Southwest and fell in love with the American Indian Culture.  He admired the Indian craftsmanship and technique so much that he was inspired to  start a collection of Folk Art.
    He was a prior trustee of the "Millicent Rogers Museum" in Taos, New  Mexico and The Southwest Indian Museum in Los Angeles, CA. He is  currently a trustee on the board of the "Autry National Center" and "La  Plaza De La Cultura" in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
    Perfect stone on stone inlay of blue turquoise, orange spiny oyster shell, black jet, blue lapis and white shell. Don't overlook the applied raindrops that frame the body, along with the sun face inlay tips. This radiant bolo will be a valuable addition to your collection of the very finest jewelry from Federico, along with your Southwestern and Native American jewelry.
