    Extra Large Old Stamped Navajo Sterling Silver Concho Belt
    This Navajo Sterling Silver Concho Belt has 10 "Scallop" style
    Sterling Silver pieces and is signed by
    the artist with a hallmark, a "T" along with a Bird Feather. Sorry, try as I may, I've been unable to identify the name of the Navajo artist that made this. If you have knowledge about this, I'd love to hear from you...thanks. My guess is that it was made towards the end of the 20th Century. I suspect that this was in old dealer inventory of just put away and protected by a careful collector. It looks great.
    There are several close-up photographs of a few examples of the Buckle and individual Conchas.
    Take a good look using the eBay magnification feature. It is almost a "Concho Mirror Belt" and it sure catches a reflects a lot of light!
    I'd love to trade with you today.
    If you like Navajo Concho Belts as much as I do, please feel free to take a look at the many that I have for sale on eBay...
    I ship anywhere
    in the United States
    for free. I will pack this carefully for you so that the conchos do not rub up against each other in transit and it will get to you in the same condition that you see in the pictures. Insurance is included, of course...
    I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!
