[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 8429515, member: 301"]as Deb says...so simple , but.. as Whit says...understated designs, as are these... As I say....I would rather a nice thick hand worked buckle....than a handful of unworked silver ovals.... so simple........= too simple understated.....= no hand stamping..at all... oh , the turq are nice stones .....but that's it....?? that's all the artist could be bothered to do...? maybe it's some form of uncluttered design that I'm not familiar with..... but stamped designs are important to the Navajo....they speak to the tribes culture and history..........these conchos ...don't speak to me at all !! Polish them with a cloth .....wipe off the turqs.....slide em on a nice black belt and I'm sure it will look lovely........to someone.... but to me, it doesn't even carry a simple design like...
