Eagle Feather, Beaded Barrette, 6.25": x 1.5" by Paul St John, Mohawk

Description: This beaded eagle feather is of seed beads. Eagle feathers are sacred to Native Americans, many tribes use them in sacred ceremonies. Real eagle feathers are illegal to own unless you are a registered Native American tribal member as eagles are endangered. - This barrette is 6.25" long from end of feathers' quill to top tip of feather. It is 1.5" at widest and the barrette clip is 2" long. The beads are solid color white, medium gray and black with a white beaded border. This is on a soft tanned deer hide backing. Paul also has made many other beaded barrettes - bluejays, hummingbird, 4 direction designs, floral, an intricate rose, butterflies including a monarch. He also makes barrettes on birch bark backing using porcupine quills for the design including a chickadee, bear, traditional Wabanaki double curve design, a fox, a turtle and more- If you are interested in a type mentioned but not currently available - watch this store - I get more items from Paul about every 2 weeks and I never know what he has been working on until I get them...... Paul St. John lives in Maine, his mother was Passamaquoddy/MicMac/Maliseet. Paul is a registered Mohawk who grew up on the Mohawk lands in New York, his father's homeland. He has been doing beadwork, baskets, birchbark work, dolls, quill and leather work for over 40 years. He does so many types of crafts and does them all well! Last photo is of Paul. While porcupine quill and beadwork are historically Maine Indian traditional crafts, not many Maine Indian craftspeople currently working use both quill and beads.
