Not New World/Precolumbian. I would look toward North African/Berber pottery.
You can see some of the types of figures that may have provided inspiration here:...
I think the first carving, the head, may be from Haiti rather than Africa. Is there a signature on it anywhere? The drummer is probably from West...
If we say that the side with the writing is the "back", it looks like it might be designed to have a strap threaded through the long slots on...
I have not seen anything like it - just some thoughts: It looks like it might sit on the silver rim, rather than on the woven end. The weaving...
How big is it? Amulet size? Big and sturdy enough to be functional in some way?
It is always helpful to post photos of the title page and copyright page (usually on the reverse of the title page) when asking about books, so we...
On the label from the studio that did the conservation treatment, there is a blind stamp (the circular impression) that I assume identifies the...
It looks Cree or Athabaskan (interior Canada) to me, perhaps late 19th century. @komokwa will say more. A similar, but fancier, bag: [IMG]...
Perhaps take it to a furrier, before trying any unproven home remedies that might make it worse (if that is possible). They might have a solution,...
It is helpful to know that the horns might have originally been upright. But I have not been able to find any examples that closely compare to...
Not something I immediately recognize. It will take a bit of poking around, which I may not have time for today. But it does not have the typical...
It depends on how the skin was tanned. Fur skins are tanned with methods that preserve the hair, and tend to be less water resistant than other...
The anatomy looks very odd. Her right leg appears to be much longer then her left - with her knee up there, there is no way her thigh can make it...
If you do a search for the term "jacquard", in this forum, you can find several discussions of this type of machine woven textile.
I would lean more toward chert than flint, then. Both are microcrystalline quartz, but formed in slightly different sediments. Per the link I...
Looks like flint, possibly a scraper, to me. https://sites.pitt.edu/~cejones/GeoImages/1Minerals/2SedimentaryMineralz/Quartz.html
The technique is not one that is used by Native Americans of the US or Canada, but it is very characteristic of Mexican baskets made in the Toluca...
I believe Dietzgen, Staedtler, and Koh-i-Noor would be some of the possible manufacturers.
No photo, but from the description this one seems to be an original:...
Separate names with a comma.
