Le fusil de Tulle tronqué est enfin terminé! Tout a été fabriqué à l'aide d'outils manuels traditionnels. L'ensemble des garnitures et vis ont été forgées en vieux fer. Le fût de noyer Européen est décoré avec plus de 250 billes de #wampum. La réparation du poignet est aussi en vieux fer et maintenu avec des clous de cuivre. Le guidon est fait d'une pièce en cuivre de 2 tournois de c.1630.

Shell Beads

This strand of beads is an example of traded shell beads. Below the necklace you will see a quahog shell, the material most #wampum beads were made out of. Wampum was not just for adornment; it was the first form of currency in the region.
