Review Quote This work intends to separate emotional "truth" from fact by scrutinizing an area of Pueblo jewelry-making that has been underappreciated in the literature. Pueblo skill in hand carving, shaping, and stringing beads, which we will call by the Keres word heishi, is second to none. We see highly innovative work produced by Pueblo jewelers that illustrates the historical power of their cultural design. -from the introduction Feature Pueblo jewelry design based on beads, ancient in origin, has deeply impacted Southwestern Native jewelry history Pueblo bead-making began in prehistoric times and continues to provide innovation up to the present day Revisits some leading misconceptions about Pueblo jewelry-making in the existing literature Description for Sales People Pueblo jewelry design based on beads, ancient in origin, has deeply impacted Southwestern Native jewelry history Pueblo bead-making began in prehistoric times and continues to provide innovation up to the present day Revisits some leading misconceptions about Pueblo jewelry-making in the existing literature Description for Bookstore Pueblo jewelry design based on beads, ancient in origin, has deeply impacted Southwestern Native jewelry history Pueblo bead-making began in prehistoric times and continues to provide innovation up to the present day Revisits some leading misconceptions about Pueblo jewelry-making in the existing literature Details ISBN0764355856 Author Barry Katzen Pages 160 Year 2018 ISBN-10 0764355856 ISBN-13 9780764355851 Format Hardcover Publisher Schiffer Publishing Ltd Photographer Barry Katzen Imprint Schiffer Publishing Ltd Subtitle Living Design Place of Publication Atglen Country of Publication United States DEWEY 745.5942089974 Short Title Pueblo Bead Jewelry Language English AU Release Date 2018-08-28 NZ Release Date 2018-08-28 US Release Date 2018-08-28 Publication Date 2018-08-28 UK Release Date 2018-08-28 Audience General Illustrations 260 color images We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
