The Four Winds Guide to Indian Artifacts (Schiffer Book for Collectors)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Authentic American Indian-made clothing, containers, weapons, horse gear, musical instruments, basketry, pottery, textiles, and jewelry is presented visually through 892 color photographs and in a detailed text which identifies the origins, materials, uses, and value on today's market. In addition to the description of all items depicted, a separate bead glossary provides information on beadwork styles, bead colors, and bead sizes. This is a most valuable reference to a complex and popular field of international collecting importance.
