Two Striking Navajo Silver Bolos and 11 Concho Belt. Two very handsome silver bolos boasting great craftsmanship. The first unsigned by artist has two blue-green turquoise cabochons, two higly polished coral cabs and a polished elk's tooth. Hallmark stamped twice by artist denoting sterling silver and 925 purity, 1.8 ozt. 3 x 1½". The other is a bolo from acclaimed Navajo artist Ray Bennett likely from the early 70s, stamped Bennett but no silver mark with a stunning detaile mount for a large polished piece of blue-green turquoise 3 x 2". Both with braided leather cording and in very fine to excellent condition. Finally an 11 concho belt This fine old concho belt is chisel-stamped repoussé and filed. Each of the 10 conchas features a sunburst at its dome capped with a single blue turquoise cab secured in a silver bezel. The buckle is also of the same construction with four turquoise cabs. This style is the epitome of the finest concha belts made in the mid-20th century. Certainly used but in fine condition. Estimated Value $500 - 800
