Vintage Southwestern-Style Horse & Turquoise Belt Buckle “Darryl Howard Maker ND

Add a touch of Western flair to your style with this exquisite vintage belt buckle, crafted by Darryl Howard of Minnewaukan, North Dakota. This distinguished piece features classic Western engraving with a dignified gold-tone horse at its center, flanked by two vibrant turquoise cabochons — a hallmark of Southwestern-inspired craftsmanship. The frame is exquisitely detailed with scrolling floral or wave-like motifs, all cast in solid silver-tone metal. The reverse is stamped “Darryl Howard — Maker — Minnewaukan ND”, strongly indicating its origin from a local artisan, presumably dating from the latter half of the 20th century (likely between the 1970s–1990s).

This belt buckle is in Very Good vintage condition, displaying light surface wear and some tarnish that adds to its authentic character, but no significant damage or structural flaws. It measures approximately 5″ wide x 4″ tall.
