This exceptional third phase concho belt crafted by Fred Peshlakai would be a welcome addition. The unique buckle, beautiful stones, incredibly fine stampwork, and crisp repoussé really set this particular belt apart. It was published in Navajo Silversmith Fred Peshlakai: His Life and Art (Curtis 2014: 188-191)

@Ravenscry I was just admiring this belt a couple of days ago after @TaraFawn75 posted her pendant. The height on the repousse is amazing. :+1:

I’m not sure if this qualifies for your thread, Tom, as I probably wouldn’t purchase this for myself, but I came across this stunning, ca. late 30’s-40’s inlay necklace attributed to Frank Vacit. There’s no denying the beauty and craftsmanship, and I thought some here would enjoy.

Although, here is a classic Phase 2 belt that I would have no issues pursuing. :wink:

Not only does it qualify, Aaron, but in my opinion, the necklace rivals the famous Skeet/Homer belt as a spectacular work of art. The concho belt is a beauty too!

Thanks for posting them!

I agree! And was originally going to mention that I felt it had jumped right out of the C.G. Wallace auction catalogue. :laughing: It’s certainly a stunning piece. I’m glad you enjoyed! :+1:
