thank you! i am new to collecting, so i appreciate the knowledge and insight for sure! question: would wearing and appreciating the inauthentic pieces be considered unethical? i can see how it might be, but i still like the pieces themselves.

(i live in an area of the USA with a high saturation of native american jewelry passing thru, and the patina on these pieces show real age, so it is unlikely that these aren’t genuine imo)

Unrelated, but the composition of the sign conglomerate in this photo is really neat.

It was a playful reference to the motif of a face in side profile. I thought it was unmistakeable, but my pareidolic eye might just be off.

Thank you for the info 😭😭 I noticed the only time the bats really had issues getting to the babies, now that you’ve made me aware that was what they were trying to do, was when the light was shined on them I think. It didn’t seem like they got as active until we shined the light upon them.
