Description “Napoletana” style coffee maker comprised of a double-filtered chamber nested within two larger chambers, one of which has a spout; Water is placed in the spoutless chamber and ground coffee is placed in the double-filtered chamber, which is inserted into the top of the water-filled chamber; The spouted chamber is fitted upside-down on top; A wooden handle screws into the side of the fitted chambers at their seam, securing the pieces together; The pot it placed over heat until the water begins to boil at which point the pot is inverted, allowing the hot water to drip down through the coffee grinds and the freshly brewed coffee to drip into the spouted chamber, which now serves as a serving pot; Although these coffee pots often came with frames in which they were suspended over a flame via the handle and a peg on the opposite side of the pot, this pot has a weld where the peg should be, indicating it was used on a stove top instead of in a suspension frame.

Description Earring / headband comprising double wire strands of small beads, arranged by color (red, white, blue, and green) in segments, with additional red, white, and blue beads between colored segments and two spacer bars between segments to keep the two strands parallel to each other; Four short strands of larger barrel shaped beads (yellow, red, green, orange, and black) are pendant from the double strands, each terminating in a tin crescent suspended from a silver metal link chain; Three of the pendants are suspended from the first beaded segment nearest to the clasped end of the earring, while the fourth one is located at the earring’s mid-point; Wire that forms the earring’s framework is bent at each end to form a hook and eye clasp. Original accession list identifies this as an earring made for the tourist trade, but its design and hook and eye clasp suggests that would have been worn around the head, perhaps with the single pendant hanging on the wearer’s forehead in the tradition of other Maasai headbands, and the triple pendants hanging by the ear.

Materials Metal: Silver
Description Hand forged single-edged cake knife with slightly convex cutting edge whose width expands toward distal end and whose back edge is terraced as it curves downward at distal end; Solid silver handle curves gracefully toward proximal end where it curves around in J-shape; Pair of parallel lines is stamped along upper edge of handle on both faces, following the contours of the handle; Knife is unsigned. Eleanor Begay (Kenneth Begay’s wife) said in November 1978 that the weight balance of this piece was right for her husband’s work, whose cutlery was always balanced, but she could not say for sure that this was his work. Kay Begay Rogers (April 2015) affirmed that this knife looks like her father’s work, and thought that it possibly had a knife stand with it, and if so, the stand might have been stamped with the appropriate hallmarks.

Materials Metal: Sterling silver; Ivory
Description Contemporary design pin in the form of a sterling silver circular spiral, overlaid by a shaft of ivory set in a plain silver bezel; The ivory shaft is notched at one end, tapers at the other end, and passes through the center of the spiral; This pin is mostly likely inspired by the “Sun Dagger” petroglyph on Fajada Butte at Chaco Canyon, a spiral petroglyph purposely positioned by the canyon’s ancient inhabitants so that a shaft of light passes through its center on the summer solstice. (Sometime in the 1990s, the rocks shifted slightly, so the shaft of light no longer falls directly across the spiral). Sterling silver pin is attached to back, so that when worn, the shell shaft is positioned vertically, pointing down; Mike Bird-Romero’s hallmark of 2 birds is partially stamped on reverse.

Materials Human hair; Ivory: sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) tooth; Olona (Touchardia latifolia) fiber cordage; Cotton string
Description Necklace composed of large number (greater than 60 strands) of very finely braided human hair and a large central ivory lei niho palaoa pendant; Only small number of hair strands pass through pendant, with remainder doubled back on either left or right side and tied into bundle at top with native cordage (later augmented with cotton string); Necklaces of this type were worn only by individuals of royal lineage (both men and women) on ceremonial occasions as a symbol of power and influence, and also reportedly by [male] chiefs in battle; Such leis were frequently traded in the later 19th century; The pendant is carved in the shape of a tongue symbolizing the wearer’s oratory and leadership skills; According to Anthony JP Meyer (1995) necklaces of this type are made from a single length of 8-ply, square braided hair, with each section of the braid comprising 50 to 100 strands of hair each.
