This sterling silver concho belt linked overlay with mimbres design by Manuel Hoyungowa (also spelled Hoyungwa), features a series of 16 large, round conchos linked together with small silver rings for flexible movement. Each concho is a miniature masterpiece of silver overlay creating high-contrast designs where the blackened background makes the positive images pop in bright silver. The motifs draw directly from Hopi iconography that is bold yet balanced, symbolic rather than purely decorative. It’s substantial, statement-making jewelry, perfect for everyday high-desert style in Taos. As a vintage or collectible piece by Hoyungowa, it carries real cultural and artistic value right from the Southwest’s living traditions. Stamped on the back of every concho is his hallmark “Strong Rain” symbol.
