The Navajo (Diné) are a people who have added much beauty to their world and ours. Beauty is a quality they particularly appreciate; it is a repeated theme in their songs, ceremonies and in their rugs and jewelry.

The Diné lifestyle and arts are those of a nomadic. They depend heavily on the horse and lavish their creative talents in weavings and silverwork on them. Perhaps there is some correlation in living with nature that sparks their creativity.

This Navajo 2nd Phase Concha belt from the 1930s has seven traditionally stamped silver concha plaques and a buckle. Each concha has an oval center and ridged and scalloped decoration. The buckle has four repoussé lozenges and elegant stampwork.
