Southern Plains, beaded Apache Skull cracker with tin cone fringes
This skull cracker is estimated to be from the late 1800s. It originates from the Southern Plains region, owned by a member of the Apache band (Na’ishan).
It is fully beaded (minor loss on some spots on the beading) – beautiful vibrant colors white and orange, dark green and yellow. The stone is quite heavy; its fringes are covered with tin cones which make a nice rattling noise. FULLY HANDMADE – a lot of work and time went into the making of this piece! Even the stone is beaded all around, measuring 3 1/2" x 2" x 1 1/4"
The Apache are a group of culturally related Native American tribes of the Southwest deserts (particularly in
Distant cousins of the Apache are the Navajo, with which they share the Southern Athabaskan languages.
Measurements: 32” length in total
