Offering now this exceptional silver Concha Belt from the 1930s. The 9 silver conchas and buckle are hand-wrought with stamped designs. Each has the classic center diamond shape with lines radiating outward followed by a plain area. The outer band has a rope design with stamped dots and lines and crescents and a raised edge. The back has copper straps soldered on through which a leather strap is threaded. The buckle is also hand wrought with stamped S-shaped forms and petals around the open center and is attached with cord to the leather strap. The strap appears to be original and in good condition considering its age. The belt is 33” long and weighs 842 gms. Each concha measures 2-3/8” x 2-7/8” with slight variations. It has remained in the same family until now. Purchased in Gallup, NM in the early 70's. Not marked Sterling but has been acid tested by multiple people and tested acutely for sterling.
