Native American retailer Beaded Skokomish Dog Barrette

Native American beaded barrette with Skokomish dog and shells. I'm an enrolled Skokomish tribal member and the dog is a symbol used in basketry. My interest is researching, studying, and interpreting tribal symbols found on basketry, ceramics, rugs, etc. into my bead art designs. After receiving my graphic design degree, my bead art expanded tremendously by interpreting Native American historical symbols.
