Mystery Navajo Picto Hallmark on Matching Bolo & Belt Buckle

Post by ThePawnbroker »

Hi all, here are two more Navajo pieces that have me stumped. A matching bolo and belt buckle are each set with large, important turquoise cabochons with red matrix. They're also each set with a bear claw, and feature lovely metalwork with Native American symbolism such as feathers and flowers.

The reverse side of the bolo has a sticker that reads "Larry Yazzie", however I have found zero documentation online, or in my hallmark books, that support this.

The best way for me to describe the mark would be "3 quarter moons", but maybe someone is familiar with the marking. Thanks again.

Here are additional images of the matching belt buckle, which is pretty hefty. Its overall measurements are approximately 4.5" x 3.5", if that helps.

Thanks again to all, for your time and courtesy.
