Hallmark on Large Concho

So, this is a concho as in one panel from a belt, with loop on the back? How big are we talking about? Can we see a pic of the reverse?

This thread, post 4, shows the hallmark as unknown in Art Amerindien, and it doesn’t appear in Hougart’s.

Stylistically you can rule out Zuni Tsabetsaye, nor does it resemble online images of Terry Charlie’s silverwork, which is traditional and not figural.

I am not sure of its origin. The imagery seems mixed up, between (I guess) Plains figures and SW buttes and flora–? Maybe just creative license.
