Nobody made it out of the portal at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe without buying something directly from the Native American artists. I bought a beaded hatband from Bernice Bonney (Navajo). She is in her 80s I think.

I like that a lot! The colors look really good. I was looking for a beaded hat band, you can send it with Elvis!

A recent find which stretches the topic for this forum... this "birdstone" came from a collection in Ohio. These are thought to be relics from the archaic to woodland period in Native American history. There are two pairs of holes drilled front and aft, perhaps an attachment method for use attaching to an atlatl or throwing spear. There is no guarantee that this is a true ancient artifact. Many reproductions have been sold and confirming the authenticity is difficult. This one is very spare in figurative detail and has an abstract simplicity that appealed to me. It is five inches in length. I made the stand over the weekend from a piece of olive wood and a drawer pull so I can display it with my small collection of meteorites.
