Created in the early 1990’s, this fine belt buckle by Herman Vandever features a long hair Kachina next to a sacred pot. The long hair Kachina are responsible for bringing the rain that enables the people to survive in their harsh desert environment. Weather patterns across the buckle diagonally symbolize the rain needed to nourish the crops below. The corn feeds the people living in the pueblo. The blazing sun nourishes the crops and lightens the village. The buckle is perfectly executed with great skill and precision. Perfect for everyday wear and vintage to boot. https://www.turquoisedirect.com/product/vintage-herman-vandever-longhair-kachina-design-overlay-belt-buckle/
