Message:: [QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2706818, member: 45"]They supposedly represent or depict Native American women, but without any idea of who made them and little way of finding that out, they cannot legally be offered for sale as Native American, at least in the U.S. They were apparently made in a slip-mold, not a process used by traditional Native American potters, which indicates they were either factory-made for the souvenir/gift market, or sold as "blanks" for crafters to finish painting. The way they are dressed doesn't depict any Native American tribe, just a "fantasy" or an image in someone's mind of what might be believed to be "Native American."[/QUOTE]
