    Description

    Vintage Beautiful Sandcast ex- buckle pendant signed DTB Free Shipping. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
    This large piece actually started out life as a buckle. Found in Albuquerque NM by a friend who had it changed into a large open bailed pendant that would fit nicely onto a heishi necklace. It is definitely not too heavy to wear in this way. It is not stamped Sterling in rear but is signed DTB for Dene Tsosie Bini, a Navajo artisan known for his sandcast work, especially with buckles. The piece has the look of a wagon wheel with spokes and a beautiful Royston stone in the center. There are stampings all around the edge. This could most likely be turned back into a buckle if so desired
    It measures 3” north to south including the bale and is 3 & 5/8”wide.
    Weight is a hefty 83.9 grams!
