Native American

Native Americans have a rich history dating back thousands of years, with different tribes and nations having their own unique artistic and utilitarian styles and techniques. Many artifacts are considered valuable not only for their historical and cultural significance, but also for their artistic beauty. As a result, they have become highly sought after by collectors and museums. These artifacts are an important part of America’s cultural heritage and provide us with valuable insights into the history and traditions of the Native American peoples. Cisco’s collection of Native American artifacts, art and antiques includes prehistoric stone tools, pottery, 19th c. baskets, beadwork, headdresses, totems, dance pieces, horse gear, weavings, parfleche, pipes, snowshoes and more!
