This great and gorgeous buckle was designed and expertly crafted by Silversmith, Eddison Wadsworth Soohafyah.
In the artist's own words, "Long Hair Katsinas represent good crop growth and a good harvest. Also prays for rain." It is highly polished, although the hair and beard, as well as Tawa's rays and some of the bricks have been etched to give it texture. It measures 3 by 2 1/2 inches and will accommodate a 1 1/2 inch belt. Eddison's hallmark, the Lakon Rain Mark appears on the reverse side. This is indeed, a work of art!
