    Description

    Presented today is this vintage and very beautiful silver lady's Concho Belt. It comes from an estate of a dear, departed friend who was a respected lecturer, teacher and museum curator. She was part Cheyenne, and lectured and demonstrated extensively on Plains Indian cultures. Also, in the 1960's, she
    traveled the northern plains on the Pow Wow circuit, participating in dances, either singly or with a dance troupe. i believe this belt dates from that time. It consists of 12 conchas, each with a beautiful large Kingman turquoise cabochon, and each measuring 1 and a half inch by 2 and a quarter inches. If you look closely, you can see that each concha is individually made. The total length is 44 inches. Buy with confidence, for as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason i will immediately return the full purchase price, including return shipping. This belt would be a knockout item of adornment. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always Best Regards, Mary
