First Phase Concho Buckle

Antique Navajo Sterling Silver Belt Buckle crafted in the style of a First Phase Concho with classic open-slot design elements, intricate hand-stamped patterns, and a rich, dark patina. Originally a concho from a First Phase-style concho belt, this piece had copper loops on the back, a common practice in the early 20th century for more accessible, cost-effective production. This suggests it was likely made in the 1920s–1930s as a re-creation of a classic Navajo First Phase design. The copper loops were removed, and belt buckle hardware was added, transforming it into a functional western-style buckle while preserving its historic character.
