Why Antique Indian Beadwork Are The Most Cherished Native American Collectibles
From museums to private collectors, Native American collectibles are some of the most desired. Antique Indian beadwork is among the most collectible of the Native American collectibles. Before beads were introduced to them, Native Americans decorated their clothing with painted designed. Then, as time went on, they began to make beads out of bone, dried berries and eventually beads, which were introduced by European traders ultimately. The Origins Of Antique Indian Beadwork
Just before the turn of the 18th century, traders from Europe came to America with glass beads to trade with the Native people. Called “pony beads”, these early beads found in antique Indian beadwork were carried on horseback to Native American villages for trade. For the most part, these beads were blue, but others were white and even a brownish red. That is why much of the antique Indian beadwork from this period is so predominantly blue. This type of beadwork prevailed until around 1840 or so, when smaller beads began to become more available. Indeed, over time, Native American collectibles, from moccasins to shirts, leggings to headbands, all seem to have some sort of beadwork worked into them. The needle and thread wasn’t introduced to Native American cultures for many years and actually, what they used to apply beads to Native American collectibles was called a sinew. Simply put, a sinew is a tendon that’s taken from large game and dried.
The Varities Of Antique Indian Beadwork
There are three main kinds of Indian beadwork found in Native American collectibles. They are:
The Overlaid Stitch
This variety of antique Indian beadwork is easy to recognize for its curvy and floral patterns.
The Lazy Stitch
Known for its boxy and straight patterns, the lazy stitch is most commonly found in antique Indian beadwork from the Western side of the North American continent.
Loom Beading
This particular style of beading is most likely traceable to the Ojibway peoples. As time and trade wore on, the practice became more commonplace among many other tribes. The loom used was very portable and easy to carry as tribes migrated as well. Made with just a few pieces of flat wood and a sinew, this loom looked a lot like a bow.
Continued Popularity
Since the styles are so coveted, modern hobbyists and entrepreneurs and even Indians themselves are still creating items in the antique Indian beadwork styles as a way to make a living. Native American collectibles are intrinsically linked with antique Indian beadwork and no collection is complete without some.
