Belt, A Vintage, Concho, Sterling Silver, Hallmark, Vintage, 1135

A rare Harry Morgan find – a collector’s piece.

This remarkable vintage concho belt is the work of the late, great Harry Morgan (1946-2007). The multi-award-winning Navajo artisan was well-known and widely revered for his silversmithing, and his work is highly collectible. This particular piece is a classic creation boasting 12 ornate scalloped conchos and a large, complementing double-mustache buckle. The slender strap is vintage leather, showing patina and wear commensurate with age, lending it a well-loved charm and authentic vintage character. A truly remarkable find – we’re having a hard time letting it go!
