When they came back to participate in the WWI, they brought these Native American items with them. Their children inherited the goods just to give them to their children an so on. Now the last inheritors decided that they no longer need these jewels, so they sold them to me. These beautiful items were handcrafted in the end of XIX to the first decade of XX century by a native tribe. It takes a lot of time and concentration to make pieces of art like these. The family wasn't sure about the exact tribe from which these things originate from. The items from this collection are 100% authentic antique relics. If you look in the specialized literature, you will find similar items with almost identical ornaments. So I believe that the items are very valuable and beautiful. A true treasure for every collector of traditional pieces of art.I hope all of these amazing accessories will find an owner, who will love them and respect their history. Thanks a lot to all of my friends, who helped me identify their value and origins. I wish you a happy bidding!Native American beadwork[edit]Examples of contemporary Native American beadworkBeadwork is a quintessentially Native American art form which evolved to mostly use glass beads imported from Europe and recently Asia. Glass beads have been in use for almost five centuries in the Americas. Today a wide range of beading styles flourish.Alongside the widespread popularity of glass beads, bead artists continue incorporating natural items such as dyed porcupine quills, shell such as wampum, and dendrite, and even sea urchin spines in a similar manner as beads.Wampum shell beads are ceremonially and politically important to a range of Eastern tribes,[6] and were used to depict several important treaties between the Native peoples and the colonists, as in the case of the Two Row Wampum Treaty.In the Great Lakes, Ursuline nuns introduced floral patterns to tribes who quickly applied them to beadwork.[7] Great Lakes tribes are known for their bandolier bags that might take an entire year to complete.[8] During the 20th century the Plateau tribes, such as the Nez Perce, perfected contour-style beadwork in which the lines of beads are stitched to emphasize the pictorial imagery. Plains tribes are master beaders, and today dance regalia for men and women feature a variety of beadwork styles. While Plains and Plateau tribes are renowned for their beaded horse trappings, Subarctic tribes such as the Dene create lavish beaded floral dog blankets.[9] Eastern tribes have a completely different beadwork aesthetic: Innu, Mi'kmaq, Penobscot, and Haudenosaunee tribes are known for symmetrical scroll motifs in white beads, called the "double curve."[10] Iroquois are also known for "embossed" beading in which strings pulled taut force beads to pop up from the surface, creating a bas-relief. Tammy Rahr (Cayuga) is a contemporary practitioner of this style. Zuni artists have developed a tradition of three-dimensional beaded sculptures.Huichol bead artist, photo by Mario Jareda BeivideHuichol Indians of Jalisco and Nayarit, Mexico have a completely unique approach to beadwork. They adhere beads one by one to a surface such as wood or a gourd with a mixture of resin and beeswax.[11]Most Native beadwork is created for tribal use, but beadworkers also create conceptual work for the art world. Richard Aitson (Kiowa-Apache), enjoying both an Indian and non-Indian audience, is known for his fully beaded cradleboards. Another Kiowa beadworker, Teri Greeves, has won top honors for her beadwork which consciously integrates both traditional and contemporary motifs such as beaded dancers on Converse high-tops. Greeves also beads on buckskin and explores such issues as warfare or Native American voting rights.[12]Marcus Amerman, Choctaw, one of today's most celebrated bead artists, pioneered a movement of highly realistic beaded portraits.[13]His imagery ranges from 19th century Native leaders to pop icons including Janet Jackson and Brooke Shields.Roger Amerman, Marcus' brother, and Martha Berry, Cherokee, have effectively revived Southeastern beadwork, a style that had been lost because of the forced removal of their tribes to Indian Territory. Their beadwork commonly features white bead outlines, an echo of the shell beads or pearls Southeastern tribes used before contact.[14]Jamie Okuma (Luiseño-Shoshone-Bannock) has won top awards with her beaded dolls, which can include entire families or horses and riders, all with fully beaded regalia. The antique Venetian beads she uses can be as small as size 22°, about the size of a grain of salt.[15] Juanita Growing Thunder Fogarty, Rhonda Holy Bear, and Charlene Holy Bear are also prominent beaded doll makers.Size: You can see the measurements on the photos.If you require any more information or pictures please contact us.
