One of a Kind piece

Navajo belt buckle with a stunning Spiderweb Kingman (Arizona) set in mat sterling silver. 

This belt buckle is handcrafted with the Tufa Cast technique, a traditional silversmithing process used by the Navajos. 

The artist takes a mold made of volcanic stone (tufa) and divises it in two parts. In the first part, he carves a design of his choice, melts silver in, and tightly covers it with the second part of the mold. Once the silver is hard, the mold eventually breaks, making this piece a unique item. This technique creates a jewel of traditional rough aspect on which we can clearly see the beautiful lumps of tufa stone.
