Description

Created in his signature style featuring appliqued petroglyph patterns, this detailed belt buckle was made by Navajo silversmith Alex Sanchez.  The piece is made entirely of sterling silver and showcases a single, tear drop shaped turquoise stone set in a simple sterling silver bezel on the surface, which contains portions of black matrix running throughout.  The remainder of the buckle features Alex’s recognizable petroglyph style designs, including whirlwinds, hands, a turtle, a bear, a dragonfly, crosses, and flattened dots.  All patterns are appliqued atop a textured, oxidized surface, while the back of the piece is stamped with reoccurring bear patterns.  2 1/2″ long x 1 7/8″ wide.  Fits belt size 1 1/4″.
