A collection of indigenous American, ( American Indian) artifacts. These stones bear engraving and detailed renderings of many individuals. There are also sculptured stones in the collection. All work is in excess of 250 years old and many examples are probably better than 3500 years old.

Hello, and welcome to this weeks blog page. I would like to call attention to the reality that most of these art works are very similar. This collection is somewhat like a coin or stamp collection. In fact many people do refer to works of this type as "stamps". Just as there are no two rocks in the world that are exactly alike, all prints of this type are naturally different. This is what separates these works from our modern and post-modern coins and postage stamps. I do assure the viewer that the experienced eye definitely does see each plate as a separate entity. I would also like to point out how rare that it is to see so many of these art works in one collection.
