A compelling example of 1930s Great Depression-era craftsmanship, this hand-carved horn belt slide buckle carries a distinctly folk art character. Shaped in a simple oval form, it reflects the resourcefulness of the period, when makers worked with natural materials to create practical yet expressive pieces.
The carving is rugged and unrefined in the best way, giving it a strong primitive presence. Subtle variations in the horn and the hand-worked surface add depth and authenticity, making each detail feel honest and individual rather than manufactured.
This slide accommodates straps or ribbon up to approximately 11mm wide, making it suitable for belts, chokers, or creative textile and leather projects.
A wonderful piece for collectors of folk art or for makers seeking an authentic vintage element with character and history.
