Included in this lot for bidding is a set of two silver colored, and turquoise belt buckles, and one buckle that has been converted to be used as a brooch pin. One of the belt buckles has a central nugget of sleeping beauty turquoise, and is signed on the back "JS", attributing it to Navajo silversmith James Shay. The second buckle has a feather motif, with three larger nuggets of cripple creek turquoise. The third, and last piece is the brooch pin, which has a simple rectangular shape, with a stamped intertwined design encircling the central nugget of lone mountain turquoise. The lot is in good condition overall. The silver of the buckles remains untested. The largest buckle is the oval piece, which measures 4 1/8" wide, and 3" tall.
