Description

A pair of Navajo sterling silver and turquoise buffalo head stud earrings by Lloyd Becenti.

The stone is set within a plain bezel surrounded by a twisted wire detail on the animal’s forehead. The metalwork incorporates textured details to depict fur, horns, and facial features, reflecting a Southwestern or Native American aesthetic. The reverse of each earring is fitted with a post and butterfly back finding, and bears a stamped maker’s mark ‘LB’.
