Bidding Supports: PS 163 Manhattan, the Alfred E. Smith School (New York, NY)
Wampum is the traditional cylindrical shell bead of the Eastern Woodland Indian tribes. Wampum belts consisted of rows of beads woven together, usually strung on twisted plant fibers, and made on a loom from an arched branch. Ms. Bautista's class created a modern version by replacing shell beads with plastic beads that were woven together on a hand-crafted cardboard loom using needle and cotton string. This piece is framed and is 15"x12".
