This fabulous vintage Navajo-made sterling silver statement belt buckle features an elaborate design rich in Native American Church ceremonial imagery. The centerpiece showcases a teepee shaped peyote bird motif flanked by two curved peyote birds, each featuring a heart-shaped center. Completing the composition is a 3-dimensional water drum accompanied by peyote prayer sticks and a peyote gourd rattle positioned above it. Each side of the buckle is adorned with a row of individually bezel-set, teardrop-shaped turquoise stones accented by graduated silver raindrops. A substantial twist wire border frames the entire design, adding texture and dimension to this impressive piece. The reverse bears the etched script hallmark "By A. Begay Sr." A remarkable example of vintage Navajo silversmithing, this substantial buckle combines intricate symbolism with beautiful craftsmanship.
