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.

Respect Art
Welcome to this weeks blog post. I would like to point out here once again that there are many people that are of the opinion that primitive art forms are the source of the modern and postmodern periods in art. I am constantly astounded by the images that appear when I am printing. If one did not know that the art is very old, he or she might think that it is the work of a contemporary artist. I try to select a group each week that will please a general audience and I might say here that it is obvious that the academy's and guilds of the American Indian Nations had the highest standards and respect for the art that they created.
