Chief Joseph Belt Buckle
Bring home a vintage belt buckle that celebrates Chief Joseph, one of Native America’s greatest leaders. Made by Bergamot Brass Works in 1977, this buckle is pure history. In a similar spirit to James Earle Fraser’s End of the Trail, the scene and back poem depict the venerable leader’s last stand.
