Description
This terrific vintage Hopi sterling silver buckle is all about the overlay work! A pierced upper layer forms a bold Katsina figure with feathered details, curling elements, and a strong fan of radiating forms, all standing out beautifully against the deeply textured and darkened silver beneath. That rich contrast is exactly what gives traditional Hopi overlay its unmistakable depth and character. The handmade hook-and-loop hardware and close comparison to early Hopi overlay buckles point to a 1960s date, giving this piece the strong period look and craftsmanship collectors appreciate in early Hopi silver.
The buckle is unsigned and unmarked; the silver tests as sterling silver.
