North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment: From Prehistory to the Present, Concise Edition: Adornment – jewelry, beadwork, and ceremonial regalia – is a defining element of cultural expression for North American Indians. Southwestern turquoise jewelry and Plains beadwork are recognized hallmarks of Indian peoples, yet thee exists many other examples of Indian artistry, such as beautifully “carved” metal bracelets from the Northwest Coast; quill0and moosehair work from the Subarctic; etched dentalium-shell and elk-horn jewelry from northern California; and engraved purple mussel-shell gorgets from Oklahoma and the Southeast. This remarkable book presents hundreds of beautiful and distinctive objects of Indian adornment from prehistoric times to the present.

More than 380 illustrations, including approximately 330 plates in full color, two 8-page gatefolds, and 16 maps and diagrams.
