<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 214999, member: 45&quot;]I agree, it &quot;doesn&#039;t have to be Southwest&quot;. It could have been made by anyone.&nbsp; That was my point.&nbsp; Unless the maker is identified, and the tribal affiliation is known, it cannot legally be sold as Native American, under the terms of the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Southwest&quot; style is a rather general term that would work, without the legal risks, and without being too specific.&nbsp; It could be called a peyote bird pendant, but that might not be something most people are familiar with.</p><p><br /></p><p>So of the three options in the original question (Southwest, Native American, or Mexican), it&#039;s Southwest, until it can be proved to be something else.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s being offered for sale, sometimes it&#039;s better to be more general, rather than too specific, to avoid ruling out any potential buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
