[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bought this at a garage sale. Looks Inuit. What is it.

Posted: 8/31/2021 6:22:01 PM EDT

I bought this at a garage sale a few years ago. I had someone make a shadow Box for it.
Really cool bead work and weaving. I have no idea what it means. It's very small only 2 3/4 X 3 1/2 inches.

Looks like a dikfer in the middle. You could be right.

That is the great faux-bear in the middle and on the dangle. It is Elizabeth Warren’s Indian fertility symbol.

It does look like an Inuit bear. Could have been made in Chynuh or Pakistan for the tourist industry.

Tourist chachkey crap made to get money from people that visit a reservation or similar.

They are formally only given to true Eskimo brothers. Kind of like a permission slip.

A relic from Clan of the Cave Bear.

A Black bear in Japan that just consumed a flying Airman.

I'm thinking the center is abalone, tied to the bear.

that's not even a real bear.

I think you should look Inuit more. It could bear useful results.

Looks a bit like a tourist trap weaving.

But It is neat.

Not really as yupik and Inupiaq weave with beach grass.

Looks like a nice beer coaster. Though if an Inuit saw you using it as one will probably harpoon you.

The bear in the center is the "father bear", and the rock attached to him signifies the tile flooring he is working on. He is angry because "cub son" is the smaller bear outside of the square, and he is not helping father bear, and is instead playing basketball, signified by the yellow ball above him. He's dunking that ball while his father slaves away in the house.

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

A hair pin holder I think. Although it doesn't have holes.

That has to be from a tribe in lower Alabama.
