    Hi there!

    I found this in a box of stuff given to me when my grandmother passed away, she collected Native American artifacts, and lived in New Mexico.

    The swastika symbol is what makes this piece so interesting as many don't know that it was not created by the Nazis. I have started to research a bit on the different southwestern tribes that used it in beadwork but am stuck and am hoping someone can help lead me to where to start.

    Thanks!

      Hope we hear on this. The good luck symbol of the swastika has been tossed around on CW enough where I think most regulars understand.
