Worn But Magical Feeling Antique Native American Hide Star Mirror (Pin Cushion?) round handmade sign 23 1/2" l x 4

23 1/2" l x 4 1/2" w x 1 1/4" d and in very good condition

The blocks were hand cut (well off square) then hand-painted in a similar manner to color cubes but with letters on one or two sides on some (not all) of them

each cleverly titled and each featuring a very singular character or characters

Certainly not a masterpiece

Worn But Magical Feeling Antique Native American Hide Star Mirror (Pin Cushion?) round handmade sign 23 1/2" l x 4This has lost some of its beading and some of the fancy wire that once entirely framed the mirror, but I find it such an extraordinarily beautiful and special feeling thing, there was no way it wasn't coming home with me. I've never seen another like it, feeling much like a fragment mirror, but all the better for that mirror being embedded in a four point star sewn of hide, with beading at the corners and woven metallic thread around the sides. 19th
