Haute Couture Christopher Ross 24kt Gold Plate Crouching Panther Belt Buckle'85

  
Christopher Ross is internationally renowned for his limited edition finely sculpted animal belt jewelry and fashion accessories. Christopher Ross created the finely "sculpted" , very life-like , 24kt gold-plated "crouching" panther belt buckle presented in this listing, along with its ivory cream python snakeskin strap. Large jungle and mountain cats are my personal favorite wildlife animals - panthers top the list. The 261 gram specimen offered here is in immaculate and/or near pristine condition. So much so, that I would describe its condition as museum quality as Mr Ross' designs are displayed in museums in New York and Virginia as well as in a New York Fifth Ave public library.

The pictures shown here really don't do this buckle its' due justice. (8" x 2-5/8 " x 2-1/8) - (LxWxD) and Ross uses an exotic signature form in addition to a traditional signature.

He makes use of a very distinctive and unique thumbprint signature - ingenious! Both the thumbprint and his written signature can be found on the underside of the buckle along with its 1985 production date. Other listings for this belt buckle include a black python belt strap; this belt buckle however, when found, had an ivory/creamy color python skin strap which is included in this offering. It is 38 " in length and 1-3/8 " in width with a single hole punched 4-1/2 from one end. High end fashion, haute couture, statement piece, showstopper.

These are a few adjectives that begin to describe this collector's piece. See all pictures and "item specifics " above for additional details.
