About the Item

This handsome solid nickel and brass belt buckle, with leather belt is made by only one individual craftsman in Kyrygzstan exclusively for the famed Eagle Hunters on horseback, who track wolves and other game in this wild and staggeringly beautiful country using trained Eagles and a pack of Afghan hounds. After great effort, and cutting through the secrecy of the hunters themselves, we finally tracked him down in an obscure village and were able to obtain only one with belt and a second closely similar buckle. This is genuinely the only piece available. These nomadic people were the first in the world to tame the horse, some 6000 years ago. The belt with buckle (one available only) make a superior variation for those, like me, who like to wear quality western “cowboy” belts. I like this one even more than my 1930 Hopi Indian silver buckle; it is from another world entirely, where horsemanship emerged for the first time. Notice the important iconography on this buckle, as the Afghan hound is prominent and above this great, incredibly fast hunting dog, is the symbol of the unity of the 60 nomadic tribes which make up the nation of Kyrgyzstan – this symbol represents the top of the yurt or dwelling of the hunters-- and formerly all people in this country and region . Well, if you like it, get it while it is still here. Onward.
