Signed TC 11+ozt Navajo 11 CONCHO BELT buckle Sterling Silver heavily Stamped

  
11 Conchos + 1 Belt Buckle. 2.66" X 2.1". Tan Leather Belt is 38" and is set up now for a 30.5" - 34.5 waist.

It may be modified to accommodate a smaller waist by adding an additional hole. 360.7 grams = 11.6 Troy ounces Total Weight. This great old Navajo Concho Belt was made by "TC".

But I'm not so sure about who crafted this one. Tom Cayanito, another Dine artist, is a possibility. In any event, it is splendid. It has some very compelling shapes that are subtle and smooth looking but each piece has dramatic deep stamping achieving a balance in appearance.

My guess is that it is 40-50 years old. It has lots of tarnish patina. And has the artists hallmark "TC".

It is Not stamped "Sterling" but it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. If you have a larger waist than 36.5 (like me), this belt strap would need to be replaced. Please, take a good look at the pictures and magnified photographs to see if it is the one for you. If so, I'd love to trade with you today! Thank you for your interest and request for a better price. This is one of those fixed price listings. I just looked and was surprised to learn that of my 88 concho belts offered, this is the #1 most watched by potential buyers. Hi would you take an offer for the belt?

I live in the uk do you post to the uk? 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. I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience! Recomended Reference Books - This artist is referenced if there is a page # shown below.
