Cheyenne Child's Moccasins with Thunderbirds

This wonderful little pair of child's moccasins with green thunderbirds is in mint condition. They measure 5.25" in length and date in the 1880's.

Old Chitimacha River Cane Bowl

This is a very nice old bowl that probably dates from the turn of the century. The condition is excellent and the color very good also. The basket measures approximately 10" across and 4" high. It is constructed of river cane that has been naturally dyed. The pattern is "Worm Tracks Broken"

North Carolina Cherokee Storage Basket

Tribe: Cherokee
Dimensions: H 14in x W 12in

Circa: 1940

This river cane basket is in excellent condition, no breaks or holes. It has a very lovely patina. Note the change of pattern and dyes on the bottom of the basket.

Washo Bowl

A bit mysterious but with the oval start, it is most likely a Washo. The zig-zag pattern spoke Mono Lake to me, but again, the oval start is hard to argue with. This is a nicely made piece with good size. 7" D X 4"H. There are a few broken stitches here and there. Better photos can be sent.

Coral Cluster Ring

Unlikely to find two cluster rings such as these, but it did happen. This one is coral and has the same wonderful craftsman feel and chunky look as the turquoise piece. Very smooth and comfortable on. Fits about a size 7. Surely Navajo and dates around 1940.

This is a great pair of Navajo earrings. Beautiful square turquoise stones suspended in hand twist wire hoops. They date about 1940.
