Description
Enjoy these vibrant beaded earrings by Haines artist, Jessie Morgan.
Made with colorful beads in either pink or blue and decorated with dentalium shells.
These earrings measure approximately 8 - 9" long.
The word dentalium, as commonly used by Native American artists and anthropologists, refers to tooth shells or tusk shells used in indigenous jewelry. These tusk shells are a kind of seashell, specifically the shells of scaphopod mollusks.
In Alaska, these shells were traded and incorporated into jewelry, sometimes with glass beads. These items were regarded as prestigious trade goods in the 19th century and symbolized wealth.
