Identifying Belt Buckle Artist

Hello, I have a Turquoise Belt Buckle with the initials AV with an underline. I found her once several years back. But can not locate now. She also made bolo ties.
She has a particular style of snake.

I had a quick look and couldn’t find anything with the underlined letters.It is not Navajo, Zuni most likely. Stunning!

That is a really cool buckle. Like Christibo I could not find anything on the hallmark. Though you could probably have a debate on whether that was Navajo or not.

I am having it repaired, I hope they keep the bezel close to the original. It seems rather primitive, and mixing it with a more modern style would be visually disturbing.
Thanks for you answers! I remember she worked out of a central seller, like a store. She worked at home and took the things in. I remember for sure a bolo tie, and maybe a ring. I hate when a computer crashes and you lose part of your history!

Could it be dated by the stamps she used? or the style of the letters which appear to be stamped.

It’s so very pretty.
