The Zuni Inlay Oval Buckle by C. Dishta is a handcrafted piece of Native American jewelry, exemplifying the Zuni tribe's renowned inlay work. These buckles typically feature intricate designs using sterling silver and genuine stones such as turquoise, black jet, mother of pearl, and coral. A specific example from the 1980s, measuring 2" in height and 3" in width, showcases a multi-stone inlay with these materials, originating from a private collection in Mesa, AZ.

These buckles often incorporate traditional Zuni motifs, such as geometric patterns or cultural symbols, and are set in solid sterling silver with detailed stamping or twist wire around the edges.
