Thank you Nico. The shield looking things are 2 halves of an old art-deco (?) type buckle. The bear is a Zuni carving by Jeff Tsalabutie, and I believe the stone is flourite (if I remember correctly). --Melanie
What an interesting collection indeed! I would love to know what those shields (?) are and the little bear with something on its back...? Regards ~jnconradie
