For sale is a vintage leather dress belt with a gold overlay
Southwestern sterling friction buckle.
The belt itself is 44 inches long by 1 inch wide, made of brown leather
(I assume). It has five holes, but the
buckle is a friction style. The buckle
is 2 3/8 inches long by 1 1/8 inches tall.
It is curved, and the top is decorated with engraving and gold overlay. I can’t tell if the highlights are gold
plated or if the gold is actually applied.
It had gold scrolls around the edge, two kite-shaped plaques and a
central Quetzalcoatl figure. The buckle
is signed with a flying bird mark over [TZR], with “STERLING” and “925”. The leather is also signed on the back.
Condition on the piece is fairly good. There are normal signs of use. An interesting vintage southwestern belt.
