I  like this darker color, and in all of its distressed-ness, including what looks maybe like some scalding across the lower half, it looks to me like a badly bruised and wounded heart! (To be taken in and loved, of course!) This is Iroquois, and specifically Tuscarora I believe, late 19th century. We plenty of bead loss all over, as pictured, a small hole in the green-ish top, and a tiny leak somewhere that spills forth a bit of emery powder when held at a certain angle when handling. I do understand not everyone would see the beauty in this, but I'll tell you that every time I look at it I am smitten anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 2 1\/4\" t x 1 11\/16\" d. Photos give a good sense of its much worn condition and losses, further described above! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47778169225470,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_2608_648e3018-5325-4240-8c3f-0dcbc0ef313f.jpg?v=1770250747","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/like-a-wounded-heart-much-worn-antique-tuscarora-beaded-strawberry-emory-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
