5.0 out of 5 stars
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.

Very well illustrated, little text, not heavily researched
It looks like someone went to a museum, or museums and took a lot of pictures of collections of early indian silver jewlery. The first 14% of the pages of the book contain subject matter about early manufacturing of silver jewelry. It was very general, not specific at all. Somewhat like it alluded to rather than focusing on the subject. I formed this impression from...

This review is from: Indian Silver Jewelry of the Southwest, 1868-1930 (Paperback)
It looks like someone went to a museum, or museums and took a lot of pictures of collections of early indian silver jewlery. The first 14% of the pages of the book contain subject matter about early manufacturing of silver jewelry. It was very general, not specific at all. Somewhat like it alluded to rather than focusing on the subject. I formed this impression from reading other books on the same subject written by other authors.To its credit, the photo work is quite nice. If you want a decent collection of pictures of early Navajo and other related Indian silver jewelry (none specifically identified by craftsman name) showing the construction details of such. .. This is the book for you. I also will keep the book as a photo reference of early silver and turquoise jewelry styles. Regards, Pag |
