The first comprehensive, exclusive study of Navajo concha belts,
this extraordinary reference work is poised to be by far the most
in-depth authority on the subject. Although most books about
Southwestern Indian jewelry do include concha belts peripherally,
this focused research by expert Donald P. Richards serves as a
truly invaluable resource. An incredible breadth of information
covers not only the physical but the human history of these unique
belts: influences on southwestern art styles; materials, tools, and
techniques; maker and age identification; determining authenticity;
concha belts depicted in art; and even modern methods to determine
metal composition by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). In addition to
Navajo styles, it also includes related styles from the Zunis,
Hopis, Pueblos, and the Plains Indians, plus selected related Asian
examples-all of which were collected from 51 sources in 14 states
and 3 foreign countries. An extensive belt catalog details 400+
individual belts, making this an extraordinary, long-awaited
reference for collectors, galleries, and private dealers.
