[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4386859, member: 45"]I'd agree, it's not Native American, based on the beading technique itself, plus the color and size of the beads, and the design patterns. I'd add, that not only are African beaded items often mistaken for Native American by those who think any beaded item is likely Native American, but the Chinese have been making copies of authentic Native American beaded items, especially in the "jewelry" categories.[/QUOTE]
