Zuni, New Mexico
2015
Sterling silver, shell, leather
Buckle 1 3/4 inches by 2 inches (4.4 by 5.1 cm)
Belt length 49 inches (124.5 cm)
41 grams
Provenance: Private collection, Las Cruces, New Mexico
The ranger set comprises a buckle, keepers, and tip, each inlaid with rectangular panels of shell in cream, amber, and pale gold, cut and fitted flush within silver channels to form an interlocking geometric field. The blocks vary in size and tone so the pattern reads as an asymmetric composition rather than a repeat, and the joins are tight enough that the surface carries as a single plane. The set is mounted on a brown leather belt with contrast stitching and a woven inset panel along its length.
