Plains Indian Knife Sheaths: Materials, Design & Construction Alex Kozlov

For the true connoisseur or the amateur collector of Native American crafts, this book offers excellent coverage of Plains Indian knife sheaths, worn by men and women for both ceremonial and everyday use. The book is filled with full color photographs of knife sheaths, as well as historic photos of Native peoples. The detailed instructions are fully illustrated and easy to follow. Many of the sheaths featured in the pictures were made by the author, who was born in Russia and became a leader in the Indian hobbyist movement in the Soviet Union. Now living in the US, he continues to create museum-quality reporductions of Native American craftwork.
