Do you think it's bone? Somewhere, long ago, I seem to remember reading that some indians made breastplates out of porcupine quills. Of course, Adam's breastplate may not be authentic anyway, but simply a costume.
@ Nanbert.......I'm sure it isn't bone (but it should be) it's just a replica. The breastplate orginally was worn for protection in battle, so they were pretty sturdy. Porcupine Quills were used mainly for decoration. When I was a child I lived in Muscogee, Oklahoma for a time and my BFF was a Native American girl. I loved learning about her culture.
When we played Cowboys and Indians, the Indians were definitely "the good guys"!!!!!!
It's nice to see that Adams 'core' group of family and friends were at the party.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Good photo of his bone breastplate. I wonder what tribe this ghost belonged to.
