OLD PAWN

Throughout our Indian lands the trading posts serve also as pawn shops with the trader usually involved in an earthy form of banking business - part of the process known as pawning. Most reservation Indians convert their cash into silver and turquoise jewelry and woven articles made from their native wool. When in need of money or commodities their assets are used as securities for loans. At times the trading post vault is the safest place in which to keep valuables. In this case the Indian pawns the items for a minimum loan and is happy to pay the interest rate in return for the security of his goods. If articles are not redeemed after the contractual length of time, it becomes "dead pawn" and may be sold by the trader for whatever the market will allow. Many old pawn items are not signed.

We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And, we recognize that it is important to know that the artist is truly a member of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal, a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
