Though I have never studied American Indian Art, sculpture or painting, I have seen the results with coinage many times, but only once pertaining to Ivory gambling chips where a horse's breastplate was made with Quatros and leather by connecting all the chips without any drill holes; just the strips of leather... and have been told, here, that it is American Indian.

Btw, I have contributed 36 Ivory codes (finds) to Dale's work through the years and have sold thousands of Ivory chips of which many were sight, unseen, and only with a code or verbal description... with several selling in the $1500-$2000 range and I have never seen one like this, before.
