- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Navajo tribe, ca. 20th century CE. A fabulous ensemble of trade beads and pendants all strung on a tri-stranded necklace with a hook clasp at each end to be wearable. A colorful assortment, the beads are created from a variety of materials, such as glass, shell, silver, coral, turquoise, stone, amber, gold-plated brass, and even a Canadian coin! They display a multitude of sizes and forms; look closely and you can even find a stone bear fetish dangling from one strand! Beads like these were used as a currency to exchange for goods and services among the Navajo, and though the Navajo collected them their places of origin are incredibly diverse with some from as far away as Venice and Africa! Size of necklace: 29.5" L (74.9 cm); of largest bead (silver and turquoise heart): 1.25" L x 1" W (3.2 cm x 2.5 cm); of display box: 14.75" L x 8" W (37.5 cm x 20.3 cm)
