Vintage Native American Beadwork Chief in Profile alarm rattle and as if he is

and as if he is about to crack a joke

It measures 7" tall x 7 1/4" wide x 3/4" deep

I think one can never have too many puppets

The nails connecting the cutout to the doorstop piece are a little loose but will push back in all the way if they wiggle out a bit

and trees dripping with fruit on one side

Vintage Native American Beadwork Chief in Profile alarm rattle and as if he isI purchased this one in Maine, from a seller dealing mostly in Northeast Coast Native pieces, which this is, clearly made for tourist market, I believe likely 1940s 50s or so. The beads are tiny and the beadwork very skillfully done, backed with leather and with a safety pin stitched on. 5" t x 4" w and in excellent condition, with beads tightly held and no losses at all that I can see.
