1950s Rainbow Man Concho Belt

1950s sterling silver Zuni concho belt featuring finely executed Rainbow Man inlay design using mother of pearl, natural American turquoise, Mediterranean coral, and black jet. Each concho is hand-forged and hand-stamped with radiating and scalloped details, framing the inlaid figure with strong visual contrast. The matching buckle continues the motif in a larger, more elaborate ketoh-style form. The conchos are mounted on a leather belt with hand-formed copper loops, showing age consistent with the piece. Early Zuni inlay work with a consistent design across all elements, reflecting talented mid-century craftsmanship and traditional stonework techniques. Attributed to Zuni Silversmith, Lambert Homer Jr. (1917 - 1972).
