Message:: [QUOTE="moontymes, post: 769357, member: 41"]Hi everyone,I purchased this shadow box at an estate sale recently. The items are loosely pinned to a fabric board. I haven't opened the box, so please excuse the glare in the photos. The couple who previously owned the items had a house in New Mexico, so I am assuming that these items are all Navajo. When I tipped the box  I could see the undersides of the items, which looks to have some age to them. The moccasins are self-explanatory but I have no idea what the other items are.One looks like some kind of purse or pouch made of a Navajo blanket with a silver medallion embossed with the "whirling log" motif, and then there is  a pair of beaded textiles. I'm trying to figure out what the purse/pouch is called and what is what used for,  and what the other pair of beaded items were used for. Thanks so much for any help.[ATTACH=full]190385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190389[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
