This beaver pendent and the 4 arrowheads on the necklace chain are carved from catlinite, also known as pipestone. They are on  on a vintage glass wampum bead chain of all white wampum glass beads (these also came in deep blue and purple).  Carved beavers of catlinite are known to have been made by NE and woodland Native Americans prior to European contact.  Here there are incised straight lines across the beaver's tail - on both sides - very early beaver carvings did not have lines on tail, latest ones had cross hatched lines. The arrowheads have incised lines at their tops. On either side of the beaver is a vintage larger blue glass bead - quite early trade beads.  This is a repro of a catlinite beaver and arrowheads necklace as it would have been made c/1600-1700's.  During this era pendants made by NE and woodland Native Americans were often place on glass wampum bead chains. The beaver and arrowheads are strung on old glass wampum beads chain .  Glass wampum beads were introduced to Native Americans in the 1600's and after that  were often used like the original shell wampum beads in necklaces and treaty belts.  This comes with the handwritten tag that Ken placed on it.   "Pipestone beaver + "arrow" pendant + glass wampum.  On back are some numbers from his inventory ..  "#10  12"  You will receive this with the necklace.  The beaver  (Both sides shown in photos) is 1.75" long, .75" at widest (hind feet)  and quite thick. The arrowheads are about 7/8" long and about 3/4" across at widest (top) ... they are all slightly different as each is hand carved.  The glass wampum neck chain is 13" long from center back to attachment to beaver.  Kenneth Hamilton is a well known artist of reproduction trade items -1700-mid 1800. Ken is of Lakota heritage and an adopted Ottawa.  Ken Hamilton researches his trade silver and other designs, spending time pouring over books, pictures and visiting museum collections. I know that museum directors and collections managers in every Maine museum are familiar with Ken and his work. It is well researched. Since his mother is the leading authority on trade silver - Ken knows his stuff.  In last photo of slideshow above, Ken appears as an Ottawa warrior, circa 1777, in full regalia (holding one of his tomahawks) on the front cover of his mother’s 1995 book: “Silver in the Fur Trade 1680-1820” by Martha Wilson Hamilton.  Like many early French or English trade silver craftsmen, Ken is of some Native American heritage and is married to a Penobscot woman, Nikki Johnson. He writes of trade silver "....trade silver commercial forms really begin in the 1740's as simple ring brooches, arm and wrist bands, round and crescent gorgets, and ear bobs. After French Canada was surrendered to the English in 1760, new forms of silver ornaments appear quickly. Larger flat/pierced brooches, and ear wheels and more familiar ear rings. ..... by 1815 massive volumes were being traded to NE Indians and eventually became "treaty" or "annuity" gifts of the US and Canadian (England) governments."
