A concho belt from around the 1970s–90s by Julian Lovato (1925–2018), a master craftsman of Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo. Julian made many pieces, all of a high level of finish, but concho belts are extremely rare pieces that are hardly ever seen on the market. The buckle and each concho are composed of careful sunburst designs, and the Lone Mountain turquoise set in them is also high grade, clearly showing the characteristic look of Lone Mountain. Material: Sterling silver Stone: Lone Mountain turquoise Dimensions: Buckle section height 5.1 cm, width 7.3 cm; concho section height 4.3 cm, width 6.4 cm Belt width 2.5 cm; waist size from 89 cm Artist: Julian Lovato (Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo)
