Navajo Overlaid Silver Belt Buckle
This Navajo Overlaid Silver Belt Buckle is a combination of traditional images and expert Navajo craftsmanship! At the center, a classic rug pattern is accented with a bear paw on each side, which signifies friendship. Hand cut and hammered, the German Silver was oxidized to create contrast against the satin buffing. Durable and tarnish resistant, it's 3" by 2" with a 1-5/8" keeper. Handmade, it's hallmarked by Thomas A Begay. This Navajo Overlaid Silver Belt Buckle is authentic tribal style for anyone!
Thomas (1955- ) was born in Many Farms, AZ. He learned the traditional style from his father but eventually switched over to Hopi overlay, a style that he has loved for as long as could remember. His wife, Ilene (1948- ) sometimes helps him with the stamping.
