Worn But Magical Feeling Antique Native American Hide Star Mirror (Pin Cushion?) tribal basket just like thisThis has lost some of its beading and some of the fancy wire that once entirely framed the mirror, but I find it such an extraordinarily beautiful and special feeling thing, there was no way it wasn't coming home with me. I've never seen another like it, feeling much like a fragment mirror, but all the better for that mirror being embedded in a four point star sewn of hide, with beading at the corners and woven metallic thread around the sides. 19th
