Tom Jackson has cut, stamped and oxidized heavy gauge silver to form a fine rendition of a Sun Face. The outer layer consists of silver sun rays that surround a circle of oxidized silver. Centered inside the rays is the Sun Face, for which he used a combination of textured silver and polished silver to create a face. It is signed T Jackson on the back.
Condition: The Round Silver Sun Face Buckle is in excellent condition. It shows very little wear.
Provenance: From the estate of a former client who amassed a collection of 40 Native-made belt buckles. We have posted 35 of them on our site and the remaining ones from the collection will be added as we receive them.
