Navajo
American Southwest
Circa 1930
Sterling silver and turquoise
Height 2 1/4 inches, width 2 3/4 inches
Provenance: Private collection, Albuquerque, New Mexico
This scalloped edge buckle is worked in sterling silver with a functional center bar and single tongue at the middle. An oval turquoise sits at each of the four corners, framed by applied leaf shaped elements, with the stones ranging across blue and blue green tones with dark veining. Between the corners the silver is covered in stamp work, including rows of diamonds, small stippled squares, and stepped motifs, all enclosed by a beaded and scalloped border. The silver has darkened to a soft gray patina that settles into the stamped lines and sets off the polished stones. The reverse shows the four pushed through stone bezels and retains its center bar and tongue for a belt.
