Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise Ranch Brand Belt Buckle
This vintage Navajo belt buckle is crafted in sterling silver and set with natural turquoise, executed in the form of a traditional ranch brand motif. The central turquoise inlay spells “HU,” surmounted by an arched element, a configuration commonly used in cattle branding to distinguish ownership through orientation and added symbols.
This buckle represents the intersection of Navajo craftsmanship and Western ranch culture—an authentic expression of the period when Native silversmiths produced functional, boldly designed accessories for everyday and working use.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The silver shows surface wear, scratches, and oxidation consistent with age and use; the piece has not been polished and retains its original surface character. The turquoise is natural, with matrix and minor inclusions typical of the material, and all stones are secure in their settings. Structurally sound and wearable.
