Sterling Silver Stamped Repoussé Belt Buckle [SOLD]

The buckle is stamped with a capital letter W or M within what appears to be a horseshoe symbol with the letter B on its side.  I have been unable to identify to whom this hallmark belongs.  The buckle is also stamped STERLING SILVER.  This Southwest Indian Jewerly buckle is designed in the manner of a traditional concha belt with outward rays in repoussé form and a raised diamond in the center.  The artist’s hallmark is stamped on the back of the diamond.  There is stamping around the outer edges of the buckle.

Condition: original condition
