Hello All, well I could produce pins in either one ofcourse would cost less than the other, also a friend of mine showed me a medal he made by etching with mind blowing detail, finer than hair, so it maybe that we also have a type of medal hand made for this aswell, so it could be of a gorget type pattern and a pin with arrows. Diamonds are enough to indicate a rattle snake.

what ever is used will be a very nice choice, just keep it simple, and we’ll do fine.

All the best Tom

I managed to get to the library today to take a look at the Swanton book. I found the book and print, but no further information about the meaning of the labeled designs in the print. (ie A, B, C, etc.)

The only info there is what you see on the image Graywolf provided. At the top of the print it says “Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 137 Plate 91”.

If there is any further information, it’s buried deep in the book and would take a thorough reading to find it. All the plates are together in the back of the book, so I’m assuming there are references throughout the book to the various plates in the back.

Here may be another route to search:

When I get a chance to get back to the library I’ll see if we have access to this collection-perhaps on interlibrary loan…..

Thanks for looking, Patty.

I found this URL while surfing. Perhaps something here will help in our decision.
