Navajo Indian Jewelry - 25865Concha belts with several silver conchas are often made smaller to fit a person by removing one or more of the conchas.  That is the story of this single concha.  It was removed from a concha belt and put in a drawer for safekeeping and has recently been discovered. 

It is a beautiful oval sterling concha in the first phase style with leather backing.  There is stamping near the outer edge and the edge is scalloped.  This concha could easily be converted to a handsome belt buckle.
