The buckle is stamped with a capital letter W or M within what appears to be a horseshoe symbol with the letter B on its side. I have been unable to identify to whom this hallmark belongs. The buckle is also stamped STERLING SILVER. This Southwest Indian Jewerly buckle is designed in the manner of a traditional concha belt with outward rays in repoussé form and a raised diamond in the center. The artist’s hallmark is stamped on the back of the diamond. There is stamping around the outer edges of the buckle.
Condition: original condition
