This is a vintage Native brass and turquoise chip inlay belt buckle, made of a brass tone metal, utilizing the chip inlay technique to set crushed turquoise stones into the design. The inlay depicts a stylized cityscape, or pueblo scene, which is an unusual motif compared to traditional designs. A section of iridescent abalone shell is inlaid along the bottom edge, providing a contrasting element to the turquoise and brass. The style is characteristic of Southwestern US artisan jewelry, which often incorporates turquoise and abalone.
