Vintage Thunderbird Belt Buckle Navajo Mosaic Turquoise Chip Jimmie J NEZZIE

Offering a vintage turquoise and chip belt buckle with eagle motif. This design is by Navajo jeweler Jimmie Nezzie, and is signed "J.NEZZIE". The belt buckle appears to be made of silver, however there are no markings and I have seen this design noted as nickel also. So sorry, I do not have a metal tester to verify metal content. This piece is in good condition with a few light scratches and few light spots of tarnish. Buckle is pretty large, measuring approximately 3 7/8" wide and 2 7/8" tall.
