BUFFALO DANCER Taos Pueblo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Turtle Belt Buckle

This darling Native-made belt buckle was created by the talented artist Duane Hopper of Buffalo Dancer from Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, and perfectly captures the charm and craftsmanship for which the studio is known. The buckle features a delightful turtle motif centered by a rich bluish-green turquoise cabochon set in a high sawtooth bezel that beautifully highlights the stone’s natural color. Decorative stampings throughout the silver add texture and character, complementing the turtle design without overwhelming its clean, elegant lines. Purchased directly from the artist, this petite yet eye-catching buckle is a wonderful example of contemporary Pueblo artistry and makes a distinctive addition to any Southwestern collection.
