PELICAN BELT BUCKLE
The pelican image lives throughout Louisiana culture as a symbol of home. It is our state bird. It lives on our flag; it soars over our homes and swims in our waters.
We wait for them to visit in the fall with the giddiness of a kid at Christmas. And when they arrive, we pause in awe, a little more connected to the seasonal transition of the natural world around us.
Pelicans embody the story of self-sacrifice. Myth or not, we know her as the mother who pierces herself to feed her young. This bird holds more meaning for us than any other, and this collection is our way of honoring it.

This buckle measures approximately 3-1/8" wide by 1-3/4" tall.
If you need a belt to go with your new belt buckle, you'll need a 1-1/2" width belt with snaps.
