An exquisite concho belt for the true collector!
Feast your eyes on this exceptional heirloom item by the late Roger Skeet, Jr., a revered and coveted Navajo craftsman. The classic concho belt is crafted in a 1st Phase Revival style, with each of the 9 stamped sterling silver scalloped concho affixed to a shaped leather backing via a leather strap looped through the center. The buckle is a complementing silver oval with subtle stampwork and repousse details to give the belt a complete, cohesive look. A testament to the craftsmanship and care taken by the previous owner (a private collector), the belt is in remarkable vintage condition, showing slight patina commensurate with age. This piece is a true collector’s item, with timeless appeal and heirloom-worthy quality.
