Description
“This redfish has it’s tail clear out of the water, fixing to eat, represented here by none other than a piece of hand ground spiny oyster shell. The redfish is hand cast in yellow bronze, then set into sculptured pewter that overlays a base of cartridge brass and nickel. Each buckle is unique- no two are identical. This is an elegant marriage of 5 recycled USA metals. Made with hand tools, signed by me.” Dr. Mark Goodwin
2.25 inches diameter buckle.
This buckle is partnered with a full grain buffalo leather belt. 1.5″width.
This belt is top quality buffalo hide leather. Full grain buffalo leather is also known as English saddle leather. It is the best quality leather you can buy. Buffalo is thicker than cow hide and has a more pronounced grain. With appropriate care, buffalo leather will last a lifetime, and will develop a rich patina which enhances the beauty of the leather.
Buffalo leather is softer and more flexible, and resists abrasion better than cow hide. Unlike cow hide, buffalo hides are not stretched during the tanning process. This full grain buffalo leather belt is stronger and more durable than cow leather. And because it is “pulled up” leather, it assimilates marks and scratches to create a unique patina.
Belt size is waist size in inches, plus 2.
