<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 234168, member: 255"]Interesting comments but as an American I know how very strict the US law is on selling an NA item. Ownedbybear is correct. One must know both the artist and tribe to list as NA unless the item is pre I BELIEVE 1935. I agree that many NA artists do not work traditionally (and Loloma is my personal Holy Grail-I almost treated myself to a pair of earrings a few years ago but just couldn't bite the bullet on the price-how fabulous that you've met him Any Jewelry) but again, unless you know that the artist is NA it can't be listed as such, at least on US sites. And, we're restricted on signed traditional pieces if they contain bear claws which can be sold in the US outside of CA but since ebay is CA based bear claw is banned on the entire US site. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also am surprised that traditional NA work could possibly be mistaken for anything Art Nouveau. That would never happen in the US but of course it's made here. The problem that we have here are the Mexican copies of NA which aren't always signed (usually they are) and can be very good. Most of the Asian copies I've seen are pretty easy to call out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
