Vintage 1970s Sandcast Bronze Totem Art Salmon Fish Belt Buckle by Rainbow Metal

This solid bronze belt buckle features a stylized Pacific Northwest Coast salmon art design. It is highly likely to be Rainbow Metals, a Washington-state-based company founded in 1972 known for sandcast bronze buckles featuring indigenous designs by artists like Barry Herem and Peter Hilgeford. Features: - Solid cast bronze with a dark oxidized patina - Likely crafted by Rainbow Metals, primarily produced and popular during the 1970s and 1980s (buckle is unmarked) - Tinglit formline art characterized by stylized anatomical features - The Salmon is a symbol of abundance and prosperity - Designed to fit a standard 1.5 to 1.75-inch belt strap - Hook-and-eye function Excellent pre-owned vintage condition - no flaws evident. Surface reflects natural aging patina and minimal scratching expected from use (see pictures). ** I always consider reasonable offers. Same or next day shipping. Thank you for stopping by my closet.
