<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 533982, member: 255&quot;]Interesting question and I have no answer for others but my personal response to items that mimic the exact look of another culture with a definite intention to deceive is negative. </p><p><br /></p><p>If that squash isn’t vintage Navajo (which I truly believe it is) then IMO it was made with intent to deceive, not honor. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’m not a purist and wear NA and Mexican silver because I aesthetically love it rather than because I personally relate to either culture but for my own collecting, items must be what they appear to be. It doesn’t matter to me if no one else would know that an item I’m wearing is a replica as I’d know and that’s a turnoff for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could love a piece, wear it constantly and if I then found out that it definitely wasn’t what I thought it was I’d need to find a new home for it (with disclosure of course).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
