Eagle War Bonnet Bolo Tie by Winston


Winston has hand made a Eagle War Bonnet. The eagle is considered by Plains tribes as the greatest and most powerful of all birds, and thus the finest bonnets are made out of its feathers. it was also a mark of highest respect because it could never be worn without the consent of the leaders of the tribe. 

Each feather is also hand tied with real down feathers. The colored hand made indian war bonnet in front of the feathers is cut gem stones and not glass beads. Winston added real weasel tails and fur hanging from the hand made bolo tie.

Real hand tied red felt feathers. Each mother of pearl carved feather is tipped with a dark Picasso marble tip. Each feather is also hand tied with real down feathers.
