DESCRIPTION:

This lovely belt buckle will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Hopi overlay hand crafted by artist George Phillips out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this belt buckle, the second layer forms a magnificent Kachina Figure, Corn Stalk, Arrow, Water Wave, and Prayer Sticks design that gives the piece a remarkable look. In Native American beliefs, the water waves design represents continuous life. The corn is a powerful symbol in many tribes. It is used for prayer of fertility and a good growing season. Belt buckle is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
