This is a spectacular, heavy-gauge vintage Southwestern belt buckle handcrafted by the recognized artisan K. Mtz (Kenneth Martinez). Built on a substantial solid sterling silver base, the front features striking gold-over-silver overlay accents on the detailed native leaf appliques and scrollwork, creating a magnificent two-tone contrast. The piece is centered around a large, vivid blue natural turquoise nugget cabochon paired alongside a deeply curved dark replica horn/talon inlay.
