LARGE SOUTHWEST BELT BUCKLE-SILVER, TURQUOISE |
|
THIS IS A LARGE OVAL BELT BUCKLE THAT MEASURES APRX 6" x 4" AND WEIGHS MORE THAN 1/2 A POUND. THE FRONT DEPICTS A RAM (MAYBE BRASS?) AT THE CENTER OF A STUDDED, HEAVY-RELIEF FRONT. THE BACK HAS A LABEL THAT READS - GENUINE TURQUOISE HAND SOLDERED. THE SILVER AREAS HAVE HAND HAMMERING AND TEXTURING. I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THIS BUCKLE IS OR IF IT IS STERLING, I DON'T SEE ANY MARK, BUT IT SURE IS HEAVY AND HAS THE LOOK. A REALLY BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF SOUTHWEST ART. |
