This is a nicely-crafted, older, large and heavy, Navajo (Arizona)

The tie was most likely made in the 1980s, and the strap is attached with a sterling silver double "figure-eight" loop.
The rectangular tie is
3" tall, 2" wide at the top, the entire tie weighs approximately 120g

sterling silver
tips are each 3" long
