Plains Indian Beaded QUILL Miniature Breastplate 14002-NC
This is a true collector's item! This miniature Bone breastplate is an incredible curiosity. This tiny artifact features slender and petite genuine Porcupine Quill tube beads with a variety of vibrantly colored seed beads. It is all held together by genuine soft Buckskin leather straps. Including the straps it is 6-3/4" long and 2-3/4" wide. Hand Made. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity! The original wholesale price on this was $75.00! This one comes from the old Apache Turquoise & Case Co. trading post. They used to be one of our main suppliers running out of Phoenix, Arizona, and after a few decades the owner decided to retire from the business. Richard was lucky and fast enough to buy up his old stock leaving us with a giant treasure of high quality items.
The objects man makes are called artifacts, and every artifact, whether it is beautiful or ugly, crude or refined, utilitarian or ceremonial, is a reflection and product of man's skills, his techniques, his arts. Artifacts reflect the ideas, the concepts, and the knowledge acquired or learned as a member of a tribe. Members of a particular tribe use certain techniques, and create a particular style because that is their tradition. |
