About the Item

A fine vintage Navajo belt. By Jimmy Herald. Consisting of a leather belt with sterling silver 'conchos' (shells) and turquoise accents. The slides are copper backed and there are 18 conchos in total with 9 bowtie shaped, 8 oval shaped, and 1 as the buckle. (The quality of the leather is fair. Probably used by Jimmy Herald because it was what was available at the time.) There have been 3 holes added for sizing to the leather. Signed to the reverse of the buckle for Jimmy Herald and Sterling. Simply a wonderful Navajo concho belt! Date: Mid or Late 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is some wear to the leather, and several additional sizing holes have been crudely added to the belt. Otherwise, there is some light edge wear, some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Maker: Jimmy Herald Marks: Marked to the reverse of the buckle for Sterling / JH for Jimmy Herald Measurements: Length: ca. 42 1/2 in. Width: ca. 1 1/4 in. Depth: ca. 1/2 in. Last hole is just over 41" from the end of the buckle. The 3rd hole is about 38". (We're not sure how that corresponds to a belt size) Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.
