Pictured here (coiled and a close up of two of the conchos) is an old Hopi Concho Belt created by Hopi
Silversmith, Steven Sockyma while he was working at Hopi Crafts (sometime in the 1970s). It carries both his hallmark and that of Hopi Crafts. Tawa the Sun appears on the 8 conchos, which
measure 2 ¾ by 4 ¼ inches on a black 51" leather belt that is 2 inches wide. The rays of the sun are actually prayer feathers. Each concho carries a high polish and as mentioned above, Steven
Sockyma's initials on the reverse side. 961-30000 $4,800.00
