Home > Literature >   North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment
	Our Price: $29.95 Product Code: YPC-9XCE

Description   Adornment-jewelry, beadwork, and ceremonial regalia- is a defining element of cultural expression for North American Indians. Southwestern turquoise jewelry and Plains beadwork are recognized hallmarks of Indian peoples, yet there exist many other examples of Indian artistry, such as beautifully "carved" metal bracelets from the Northwest Coast; quill-and moose hair work from the Subartic; etched dentalium-shell and elk horn jewelry from northern California; and engraved purple mussel-shell gorgets from Oklahoma and the Southeast. This remarkable book presents hundreds of beautiful and distinctive objects of Indian adornment from prehistoric times to the present.
