<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 3995602, member: 55&quot;]And for those who don&#039;t:&nbsp; This type of pendant is an Ethiopian design; imported so widely in the 1960s that the Indonesian cottage industry catering to the bead trade began to make them by the thousands; and eventually, they came to be widely advertised as Northwest Coast Native, or Alaskan; commonly found on ebay with &quot;dates from the 1880s&quot; and even locations, inscribed on the back; and described as Eskimo lances, gambling pieces, NW Coast shaman&#039;s charms.</p><p>But if you see one, do not bid.&nbsp; Nobody on the Northwest Coast or in Alaska was copying Ethiopian pendants, whether in the 1880s, 1960s, or now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
