The San Saba Bolo Tie ~ Rugged And Authentic

This is a rugged, authentic Western-style bolo tie featuring natural and sourced materials that give it a distinct frontier aesthetic. The arrowhead is a prehistoric ancient artifact found in San Saba County, Texas.

​The Centerpiece (Slide)

The focal point of the tie is a large, hand-knapped projectile point (arrowhead).

• ​Origin: According to the description, this piece was recovered in San Saba, Texas, an area known for significant Native American artifacts.
• ​Material & Appearance: The stone appears to be a type of chert or flint with a waxy luster. It is a translucent, smoky brown-to-grey color.
• ​Form: It shows obvious signs of being hand-worked (knapped), with distinct flake scars along the edges and surface. The shape is somewhat asymmetrical and rugged, rather than perfectly symmetrical, adding to its authentic, unearthed character.

​The Cord and Tips

• ​Cord: The slide is mounted on a thick, braided leather cord that is tan or light brown in color.
• ​Tips: Instead of traditional silver or ornamental tips, the ends of the leather cord are fitted with expended 223 brass rifle cartridge casings.
