Every piece at SMoW tells a story, and the closer you look, the more you'll find.

Take a ... closer look at the repairs on this shield from the Central Plains (possibly Arapaho) from before 1850 and let your imagination fill in the blanks.

Take a closer look at the repairs on this shield from the Central Plains (possibly Arapaho) from before 1850 and imagine... who used this shield? How long did it take to repair? What caused the cracks? How much time and skill went into creating and decorating it? #detailsfordays #nativeamericanartifacts #oldwesthistory #americanwest
