Bolo Ties – Set of Two Artie George

Bolo Ties - Set of Two Artie George

We offer this set of two Bolo Ties to all Artie George fans!  Artie George is the great nephew of Chief Dan George. Artie is a Coast Salish artist who works from the Burrard Reserve in North Vancouver, British Columbia. He is an accomplished wood mask carver.  Thus, he creates miniature masks that he adds to brooches, shadow boxes and bolo ties as we have here. You can find his work in museums in the United States and Canada.
The Man Mask features Red, Green and Black paint. The four ply bolo cord measures 34" long and ends in stained wood tips.  The mask measures 2.5" x 2".  The card has the following text: "Man Masks or "Portrait Masks" are used in elaborate dance ceremonies to portray certain characteristics of one's personality."
The Moon Mask also features Red, Green and Black Paint. The four ply bolo cord measures 34" long and ends in natural wood tips with varnish.  The mask measures 1.75" x 2".  The text on the back of the card reads: "The moon lightens the darkness of the night and is portrayed much like the sun, with a face filling the centre, but without rays. The moon is the exclusive crest of only a few of the highest ranking chiefs."
Additionally, these Bolo Ties are brand new!  But we are selling them only as a set.
One of a Kind!
