Vintage Aztec-style warrior buckle from Taxco, Mexico, stamped Taxco Mexico on the back. A winged warrior in profile is inlaid in copper-toned metal over a field of crushed turquoise, set in a silver-toned frame. It still has its original price tag on the back, marked 1550 pesos. Taxco has been Mexico's silver capital for generations, and its silversmiths were making belt buckles there in the 1930s.
We paired it with a strap we make ourselves: 10oz full grain veg-tanned leather, hand dyed in our shop in Chestnut, a warm medium brown, with nickel-plated solid brass Chicago screws.
Handmade in Tacoma, WA
