About the Item
An extraordinary statement piece by celebrated New York artist Christopher Ross, this oversized butterfly belt buckle dates to 1983 and reflects his sculptural approach to wearable art. Ross gained renewed international attention when stylist Patricia Field featured his pieces in the Sex and the City films, cementing their place in both fashion history and contemporary culture.
Crafted in 24-carat gold-plated metal, the buckle is substantial in scale—measuring approximately 8 in. L x 5 in. H—and is paired with its original pink snakeskin belt strap, signed and stamped CHRISTOPHER ROSS 1983. The strap measures 1.5 in. wide and 37 in. long, fitting waists between 27–32 in. comfortably.
