Belt, A Vintage, Buckle, Concho, Turquoise, Ingot Silver, Re-Purposed Ketoh, Shiprock Gallery, Vintage Early 1900s, 1241

REPURPOSED BEAUTY
We love when vintage items get a facelift and are repurposed into something even more beautiful. This ingot silver ketoh was transformed into a belt buckle showcasing pure beauty. It features multiple stones of caramel-matrixed turquoise and repousse bump-outs arranged in a flower design. Simple stamping and a vintage leather belt finish this repurposed beauty.
