61. Ancient Ways Specializing In Traditional Native American Arts - Beadwork Intricate beadwork by Shoshone and Arapaho artists belts, medallions, necklaces, moccasins, purses. http://www.ancientwayswest.com/Beadwork.html

Amulets Beadwork Buffalo Products Cradleboards ... Ivory Products Beadwork When the first European trappers and traders ventured west, they came armed with glass beads to trade for food and supplies with the Indians they encountered. Many tribes were already decorating their clothing with porcupine quills, but beads quickly replaced or supplemented the quills because they were easier to work with and allowed for more detailed designs such as mountains, tipis, flowers, animals and insects. Beadwork designs have been passed down by families for generations The Northern Arapaho and the Eastern Shoshone are particularly well-known for their beadwork. Historically, the two tribes developed unique styles: the Arapaho are associated with stylized, geometric motifs while the Shoshone, more heavily influenced by Christian missionaries, are known for their intricate floral patterns. Today these distinctions are beginning to blend as beaders from both tribes borrow from different traditions to create their own individual style. The quality of beadwork varies according to the size and shape of the beads, the colors employed by the beader, and by the intricacies of the pattern. Many beaders seeking to mimic traditional styles use reproduction beads from France and Czechoslovakia; beads that are made in the same way and using the same colors as those brought over by the Europeans hundreds of years ago. These beads are slightly irregular and have softer colors than modern beads. In addition, the highest quality beadwork features elaborate designs that require tiny, time-consuming stitching to secure the pattern in place.

69. Through The Eyes Of The Mississippi Choctaw Men and women alike often wear decorative beadwork with traditional clothing. A beadwork set for women often consists of a belt, medallion, collar necklaces http://www.choctaw.org/culture/beadwork.htm

Choctaw Beadwork Collar necklaces are worn with traditional clothing by both women and men. This style of necklace may be fairly simple, like the one pictured about, or may be larger and more elaborate, incorporating designs such as human figures in Choctaw clothing or colorful sunburst patterns. The round comb pictured at left resembles one photographed around 1930 in Philadelphia by Smithsonian researcher Frances Densmore. This comb was probably made between 1950 and 1960. The sash is probably the earliest component of traditional dress still in use today, incorporating symbols that may also be seen on Eastern Woodland , Mississippian and Early Historic period pottery.

70. Shoshone Beadwork beadwork is the bestknown art form of Wind River and Fort Hall Shoshones and Bannocks. It is an enduring tradition, but one that has evolved over time. http://www.windriverhistory.org/exhibits/ShoshoneArt/beadwork/index.html

Wind River History Home Page Shoshone Art Home Baskets Beadwork ... Interviews A Gallery of Shoshone-Bannock Beadwork Beadwork is the best-known art form of Wind River and Fort Hall Shoshones and Bannocks. It is an enduring tradition, but one that has evolved over time. Materials, styles, colors, patterns, symbolism and other characteristics reflect the environment of the beader at the time she or he created their work. This is as true for modern beadworkers as it was in the 19th century. Today, beadwork can literally adorn almost any object, including watch bands, key fobs, baseball caps, wallets, belts, dresses, vests, sport shoes, etc. More traditional forms, of course, include powwow regaliabeaded buckskin dresses, moccasins, traditional pouches and teepee storage bags, leggings, etc. This page of thumbnails is linked to some of the earliest examples of Shoshone-Bannock beadwork found on clothing and moccasins. Beadwork Index Page 2 provide links to geometric designs on items such as knife sheaths, bags and pouches, pipe bags, and other decorated items. One of the key features of early Shoshone-Bannock beadwork is the overwhelming preference for four basic colors: white, green, blue, and cobalt. Beginning with Beadwork Index Page 3 , the focus shifts to items bearing the transitional floral patterns from 1890-1950. One should notice the decline "box & eye" or "boxed eye" geometic designs that often involve the use of rectilinear motifs on solid backgrounds to the use of floral designs. These earliest floral patterns are abstract, while later examples become more and more realistic.

71. Huichol Beadwork Collection - Huichol Beaded Masks, Gourd Bowls, Spirit Figures, Our foundation has an incredible huichol beadwork collection which includes beaded masks, gourd bowls, spirit figures, bags, breast plates, bracelets, http://www.shamanism.com/beadwork.htm

ART A major art form, usually made for ritual use, beaded masks, gourd bowls and spirit figures are also created from visions. Beaded gourd bowls are often left as offerings during pilgrimages, and they can be found on the altars of Huichol homes and temples. Beaded masks and spirit figures record the dream visions of the women and men who create them. Designs using figures of Grandfather Fire, the Deer, the Double-Headed Eagles, serpent, lighting, feather wands, corn, nierikas, etc, tell the stories of Huichol mythology. The masks and figures are created by pressing beads into the beeswax covered wood. The Foundation also has an incredible collection of beaded breast plates, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, barrettes, and rings. This beaded work is exquisite and each piece is one of a kind.

Welcome and Salutations When I started this over ten years ago, and I was told beadwork "wasn't period" in the medieval timeperiod. Well, as you will see from the sources I've proven that it is since and I don't hear that arguement anymore. I wanted to make sure others didn't either. That's why I created this site. If you see anything here that can help you in your studies, your documentation or your teaching, please take it, but please provide links and credits back to this site so then others can examine this field more in depth (and see them in full-color where possible).

Native American Please direct all inquiries to: info@apacheria.com We have a great many items listed in the Native American Section so we are tying to make it easier for you if you only want to look at certain groupings of items. We have moved the Navajo Rugs in a seperate section. Go back to the front page and look in the section called Navajo Rugs. We are leaving the Navajo dolls in this section. However, if you are interesting in just looking at the Dolls you may want to quickly scroll down to BE168 and inspect the items down thru BE145. Our typical arrangement starts here and goes through all the items. AMERICAN INDIAN CROOKED KNIVE This is an interesting item from the Great Lakes region. Circa is1840 to 1860. It is made of Maple, Steel and Brass Wire. The stand was made for the item and will come with it. the knives measures 7-1/2 inches from tip to tip. It has an interesting old mark in the wood (image 191b) PRICE: $950 Picture OTHER SIDE Picture FRONT VIEW Picture CLOSE UP Picture OLD TACKED BOX This is a very attractive old box that is covered with a leather type material and lined with old tacks. The tacks are tarnished and have been there a long time. Tacks outline the initial H W on the top of the box. Theres an old metal plate attached to the lid that reads INDIAN/ U.S./STANDING ROCK/ INDIAN AGENCY/ H.WILSON/ AGENT/1889. The plate looks old. There looks to have been another plate on the lid first and had been removed and this plate affixed, but a long time ago. The brass lock in the front is most unusual. It is marked PATENT with no other marking. It was a keyed box but there is no key available. I have attempted to see if there was an H Wilson who was an Indian Agent at Standing Rock in 1889 but have been unable to find any name of an indian agent as of this time. If anyone knows where I can find such a list, let me know. It looks good to me, but have never seen anything like it before so that makes me want to check it out a lot more. PRICE: $900
