Label TextIn the mid-1800s the Dine (Navajo) learned how to work silver and covered the browbands and side-straps of leather bridles with cast bands of silver and large silver conchas. Some of the early silverwork was plain in design, but later, scalloped borders and stamped decorations were used.ProvenancePrivate collection, Florida; Toby Herbst, Galisteo, New Mexico
