The 15 conchos are 1 3/8" wide and 1" tall. The buckle is slightly larger, being 1 1/2" wide and 1 1/8" tall. The silver links have an outer diameter of 7/16". The coral cabochons are of variable size, but in general are 1/8" by 3/8". It weighs a solid 147 g. The artisan's hallmark is on the buckle, "MY" for Hopi silversmith Marcus Yowytewa.
