A belt buckle created by artist Norbert Peshlakai.
Traditionally, the Hopi crafted necklaces, bracelets and other personal adornments from shell, stone and plant materials. Silver - scarce and expensive - was a late arrival on the Hopi mesas. However, during the 1890s, a few Hopi artisans were taught to work with silver by their Navajo and Zuni neighbors. Early pieces were indistinguishable from Navajo or Zuni work. Today, Hopi silversmthing is a well-regarded Southwest art.
