This is an incredible buckle! This buckle is made entirely out of genuine Buffalo Nickels. These Buffalo Nickels have been artistically sweated together into layers not unlike the ancient Aztec pyramids. For added unity the front of the belt features the Buffalo side of the nickels and the back features the Native American side of the nickels. This buckle is 2-3/8" by 3-1/4" with a 1-1/2" keeper on the back.

No animal has ever given so much to a people as the largest and most spectacular creature of North America, the great American bison. The Plains Indians depended upon the buffalo for food, shelter, and clothing. The Indian male revered, studied and imitated them, and eventually gave them religious qualities. The medicine men called upon the powers of the "spirit buffalo" to help them in rituals. POWER...STRENGTH...PROSPERITY.

It is told that the spirit of the buffalo--will return to reunite the people, thereby mending the Sacred Hoop, which has no ending and no beginning. This will be a time for the prophecies to come together, for people of all colors to understand about Mother Earth, and to have respect for one anothers' nations. This will be a time for healing.
