A number of items were stolen from a home in Tucson, Arizona
June 2011
- An Apache pitch-covered water basket, purchased on the San Carlos Reservation outside of Miami, AZ, in 1939;
- A shallow, medium-sized Hopi bowl with a white interior with black-and-white design and an orange/brown slip exterior;
- A Tohono O’odham basket tray with indented concentric circular design;
- A Navajo 1940’s silver men’s bracelet;
- A brown, cream, and red beaded necklace (unknown tribal origin);
- A Navajo sand-cast silver and turquoise belt bucket on a leather and snakeskin belt (the belt was made in the late 1960s/early 1970s; the buckle pre-dates the belt but I do not have a more precise date estimate).
