The work of a decade by Barton Wright is brought to the forefront with this informative publication on the hallmarks which Native Americans use to identify their arts and crafts.

Hallmarks of the Southwest is a long-awaited compendium of Native American artisans.  It lists the craftspeople, identifies their tribes, and gives a brief summary of additional information on how and from whom they learned their craft, their relatives, and the region from which they come.  The value of this publication lies in the recognition of the artisans whose work is the basis for an important industry in the American Southwest.
