Indian Jewelry Reference Book

Excellent reference on Southwest Indian Jewelry. A good read before going in search of old or modern day Native American jewelry teasures. Wilford Wilford's Trading Post Gallup, New Mexico

essential for building a graphic knowledge of Indian design.

This book depicts the best from collections of early Native American Pueblo silverwork. The photographs allow the reader to identify key characteristic features of traditional Native American jewelry. The informative verbal descriptions do not insult the reader nor the makers. There are few books that portray the early Southwest jewelry as well as this one.
