Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver Bolo Slide – Carved Stone Olmec Mask – 925 Mexic

A striking mid-century Mexican sterling silver bolo slide featuring a bold hand-carved Olmec/Aztec-style mask rendered in deep green serpentine. This piece embodies the classic Taxco studio aesthetic of the 1960s–1970s, when Mexican silver artisans revived indigenous motifs with modernist craftsmanship. The result is a powerful, sculptural work of wearable art.

The carved mask cabochon shows distinctive Olmec-inspired facial geometry, polished to a smooth sheen with natural stone texture visible beneath the surface. It is framed in a substantial hand-wrought sterling silver bezel, marked Mexico 925, consistent with mid-century artisan workshop production.

This slide originally accompanied a bolo tie (cord not included). It displays beautifully as a collector’s art object or can be fitted onto a new leather cord for wear. A strong statement piece that appeals to collectors of Taxco silver, pre-Columbian revival jewelry, tribal design, and mid-century modernism.
