Belt, A Vintage, Concho, Mother of Pearl, Hallmark, Vintage, ‘85, 587

TIMELESS AND TRADITIONAL

This stunning vintage statement piece by the late Navajo artisan Leland Yazzie is a classic concho piece of craftsmanship. The traditional vintage black leather strap is adorned with 7 large, bold scalloped-edge conchos with a matching buckle, each with patterned stampwork details, repousse bump out centers and a single center mother of pearl stone. The uniformity is impressive to the point of mesmerizing. This is a timeless collector, for sure.
