This authentic vintage Navajo belt buckle is a highly collectible piece of Native American wearable art handcrafted by the acclaimed silversmith Herbert Ration. Meticulously fashioned from heavy-gauge sterling silver, the concho-style dress buckle features traditional Southwest repousse metalwork adorned with crisp sunburst stampings, deep crescent line patterns, and a beautifully execution of a scalloped, fan-stamped outer border. At its center rests a vibrant, natural Mediterranean red coral cabochon that remains securely intact within its original smooth bezel setting. Measuring a compact 2 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall, the buckle displays a wonderful, untouched vintage tarnish that adds depth and contrast to the silversmith\'s stamp work. The reverse side features a sturdy back bar and pin designed to fit a 3/4-inch to 1-inch leather belt strap, alongside the distinct, crisp maker\'s stamps reading \"H. Ration\" and \"STERLING.\"
