The buckle is sand cast within a rectangular outer frame, the interior worked as an open design in which a horizontal arrow crosses the center and meets curving bars that sweep out to the corners above and below. A single triangular turquoise stone with dark spiderweb matrix is set at the middle in a plain bezel, held within a raised square cast surround. The silver is thick and rounded with the soft contours left by the sand mold, and a dark patina fills the recesses against the brighter raised surfaces.
