tooled leather belt buckle with authentic buffalo nickel concho

This buckle is inspired by a leather belt buckle I saw in a picture from an old easy rider magazine.

Leather is hand tooled using my collection of vintage leather tools, stained in a sun burn finish, and stitched like a leather drum top.
The buffalo nickel is 100 years old, I found it in my family's old coin jar and silversmithed it into a concho.

Thanks for checking out my work 😊
