Native American Indian Hand Beaded Belt Buckle And Beaded Belt

Description

Used.
The buckle is missing some beads.
You can see some underlying threads where they use to be.
The bead covering is not completely taut over the underlying buckle.
Some soiling to the back of the buckle.
The beaded portion of the belt has some ripples when laid flat.
The stitching used to attach this beaded strip to the belt is visible from the back.
The leather belt is not particularly thick and I’m unsure that it would handle the rigors of an everyday belt.
The beads would probably be fragile for such use as well.
There are scratches and signs of use at the belt holes and elsewhere.
Buckle can be removed from belt by unsnapping the button near it.
Please expect signs of use and age.
