- Lot Description
Northwestern Europe, England / North America, United States, Georgia, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. An interesting collection of brass and tin artefacts brought by English colonizers to America as trade items. The mid-sized pieces are tubular and conical, and may have been the lids to tobacco tins, that were rolled by the Native Americans to form beads and ornaments. The slender stick is leaded brass with etched linear motifs along one face. The button is decorated with repousse rosette motif. This collection was discovered from an area in Georgia that was a historical Coweta tribe settlement. All are displayed in a modern glass case with a printed description and map of the find site. Size of largest piece: 3.125" L x 0.75" W (7.9 cm x 1.9 cm); case: 12.25" L x 8.25" W (31.1 cm x 21 cm)
Metal items were highly desired by Native Americans, and the English capitalized upon this during the period known as the "Deerskin Trade" by exchanging guns, tools, and other trinkets, such as these items, to obtain deerskins. Millions of skins were traded and sent to England to process in factories. By the early 1800s, the deer population was decimated, and the Revolutionary War had ended English control of the colonies. The forcible relocation of many Native tribes and the Trail of Tears, resulted in the sad abandonment of homelands and many possessions, including these artefacts that were discovered in Coweta county Georgia, so named for the Coweta people that once lived in the area.
