Description: This is an exceptional Hopi silver overlay belt buckle by master silversmith Lawrence Saufkie. The quality of the silverwork can be seen in the precisely cut avian designs in the upper layer of silver, and in the finely textured and deeply oxidized lower layer of silver. The buckle measures 2½ x 1⅛ inch. It will accommodate a belt strap of width 1 inch. The back is stamped STERLING and bears the hallmark of Lawrence Saufkie. It came to me with a business card from Naranjo’s Trading, Espanola, NM. Shipping by USPS Priority Mail within the United States is $9.00. Lawrence Saufkie (1898-1993) was a renowned Hopi silversmith. A list of his awards would stretch as long as your arm. He is listed in major publications on the art form, including Bassman (1993), Wright (2000), and Schaaf (2003). His work is sold by leading galleries, and is worn and collected worldwide by lovers of fine Native American jewelry.
