Signed Old Heavy Navajo. Sterling Silver Concho Belt. 11 Conchos + 1 Belt Buckle. 2.66″ X 2.1″. Tan Leather Belt is 38″ and is set up now for a 30.5″ – 34.5 waist. It may be modified to accommodate a smaller waist by adding an additional hole. 360.7 grams = 11.6 Troy ounces Total Weight. This great old Navajo Concho Belt was made by “TC”. But I’m not so sure about who crafted this one. Tom Cayanito, another Dine artist, is a possibility. In any event, it is splendid. It has some very compelling shapes that are subtle and smooth looking but each piece has dramatic deep stamping achieving a balance in appearance. My guess is that it is 40-50 years old. It has lots of tarnish patina. And has the artists hallmark “TC”. It is Not stamped “Sterling” but it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. If you have a larger waist than 36.5 (like me), this belt strap would need to be replaced. Please, take a good look at the pictures and magnified photographs to see if it is the one for you. If so, I’d love to trade with you today! I will pack this carefully for you so that the conchos do not rub up against each other in transit and it will get to you in the same condition that you see in the pictures. I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!
