Large 1987 Stan Bentall Sterling Eagle belt buckle with large ruby eye 4" x 2
3/8" x 152.6 grams. Fits up to 1.5" belt. Extremely rare if not one of a kind
item, early work of a now famous sculptor. Signed SS for sterling silver, tested
and guaranteed solid sterling silver. Stan Bentall created a few different
designs of sculptural animal belt buckles in the late 80's which are well
documented. The most common being Horses and Longhorns of which he only cast
about 25 examples of each. This is the first of this design with single eagle

Stan Bentall, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico is a world famous sculptor of the
dog, researches the anatomy and conformation of each breed and captures the
essence of the breed as no other artist. A Stan Bentall sculpture of a dog on
point is a moment frozen in time to enjoy forever. The dog's well defined
muscles seem to pulse with energy. His intense eyes and keen nose reveal this
dog is a champion in the field. His sculptures go beyond realism, to capture
even the mood.
