Miscellaneous Collectibles and Oddities
Pictured here are a few of the unique, hard-to-find and sometimes just plain odd items that we have for sale in our shop.  Some people have said that visiting our shop is like going on a short trip around the world.  We are always looking for things one rarely sees anywhere else.  
Among the array of collectibles we carry in our shop are hand-carved Cherokee masks,  various handmade knife sheaths with some being beaded and some being decorated with quillwork;  hand-carved bone objects from several locations, including by local as well as by Indonesian, African, and Tibetan artists; the occasional bronze casting, such as the actual-sized human skull bronze pictured below; antique trade beads from the fur trade era; and...we... you will just have to check with us to see what our newest unusual items are.
