Imagine entering an Indian trading post in historic Santa Fe. All around you are beautiful Native American objects. On the walls are a myriad of textiles: on the shelves you see baskets, kachinas, pots and beadwork. In the showcases are Zuni and Navajo silver and turquoise jewelry and Mexican designer jewelry. All the treasures of the American Southwest are at your fingertips as well as wonders of design from the rest of the Northern Hemisphere.
As you come deeper into the shop, more beautiful objects meet your eye. Here is an Acoma pot by Lucy Lewis; and there, a wonderful polychrome Chumash basket from California. Nearby is a striking transitional Navajo blanket: and over here is a handsome Sioux vest with a buffalo and horses in traditional style beadwork.
