Zuni artist Philbert Beyuka specializes in bolos that are styled after the Zuni Kachinas found in ceremonies. Philbert was taught by a Zuni legend, his father Edward Beyuka, and that influence shows in his work. This is a Fire God dancer that comes out before the Shalako during the annual December ceremonial. It is a very unique figure that has a stuffed deer hide across the body and fashioned with lots of color against the black body. Philbert has used jet, shell, coral, and turquoise stones to create the fascinating bolo. The bolo has been placed on a bolo leather cord and sterling silver tips. The Beyuka's work is very collectible and Philbert makes a limited number of figures.
