Item #868Z- Navajo Sterling Silver Storyteller & Bear Paw Symbol Overlay Linked Concho Belt by Gibson Gene
Beautiful Navajo seventeen (17) piece storyteller/bear paw linked concho belt. The silversmith has created nine (9) oblong oval storyteller overlay conchos and eight (8) smaller overlay conchos displaying a bear paw symbol. Each storyteller concho displays a hogan (home) with smoke billowing from the chimney along with a flatbed horse drawn wagon. There's also a line of cloud cover above. All cut out and overlaid on top of a blackened textured silver base. The other smaller conchos display the bear paw symbol also overlaid on top of a blackened textured silver base. The artist has evenly mixed the conchos and has attached flat silver hoops at each end and using a large circular wire ring to connect the conchos together. Only exception is the buckle which has a handmade shepherd's hook on one end.
