Exhibit Label	The inspiration for this jacket was the inlaid spiny oyster shells made by the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indians. Shells were smoothed, turquoise mosaic was appliqued over the top three-quarters of the shell, a line of alternating black onyx and white shell pieces was then arranged across the bottom of the turquoise mosaic. The bottom of the shell was left natural so the red/coral color showed. The decorated shells were worn as necklace pendants (Margaret Wood, Navajo/Seminole, 2011).
