Bone Case Late 1800s Late 19th Century Native North American Kiowa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from late 1800s America, specifically Native North American culture. The image features a Bone Awl with Beaded Case, originating from the Gaigwu (Kiowa) tribe during the late 19th century. The intricate craftsmanship of this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Made predominantly from bone, the awl itself measures approximately 11.4 cm (4 1/2 in. ), while the accompanying beaded case extends to an impressive length of 23.5 cm (9 1/4 in. ). The delicate beadwork adorning the case reflects the artistic prowess and attention to detail characteristic of Native North American artisans. This artifact provides valuable insights into both cultural practices and functional tools utilized by indigenous communities during this era. Bone awls were commonly used for various tasks such as sewing leather or piercing holes in materials like hides or fabric. Preserved through time, this Bone Awl with Beaded Case serves as a tangible link to our rich historical heritage and offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and traditions of Native North Americans over a century ago. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize its significance as an important cultural relic that deserves our utmost respect and admiration for its historical value rather than any commercial use it may have today.
