Beautifully inlaid with turquoise, mother of pearl, jet and malachite, this Native American made silver buckle (BB138) was noted by its late owner, Billy Branch of Denver, to be ‘rare pawn’. Measuring 3” in width, the buckle will accommodate a 1 7/6” wide belt. Believed to date into the mid-20th century and in overall very good conditon, the buckle has some minor scratches from wear, and some hardly noticeable loss of inlay. It is signed on the back in script ‘P. & Q. W. QUAM, Sr.’ Great for ...click for details

This 26” long, 11-strand, tubular coral bead, Native American made necklace (TEH14) has small sterling beads interspersed with the coral. The silver beads, approximately 3mm in diameter, are randomly placed so no pattern is developed with them. The coral is a magnificent vivid orange/red that makes a ‘statement’ that says LOOK AT ME! The back of the necklace is ‘Squaw wrapped’ with red thread. As coral is becoming rarer, this c.1960s-1970s necklace is not only very wearable but might also be ...click for details
