Modern Navajo Flute: I can play this one but really struggle with my modern South American Native Flute. The first two beads are modern and I added the lower two actual old trade beads.

If You Don’t Stand for Something, You’ll Fall for Anything
First of all I just want to say awesome thread idea I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s collectibles! I don’t have anything too crazy but I find them interesting anyways.
First photo: This is a dresser near my nightstand and the pewter statue says on the bottom “Medicine Man” by Jim Ponter, official issue of the western heritage museum. I received the statue from my great grandparents after they passed away, and I’m not sure where they found it although I know my great grandfather was in the army during the Korean War and they traveled the world and the US during that time, so it could have came from anywhere. Also worth noting behind medicine man the arrow laying across the deers horns was a gift from my mom as a child, I know she got it in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
It has a side notched stone point and turkey feathers with traditional lashings on a hardwood shaft, modern made of course.
Second and Third photos: 2 more modern made gifts from my mother are a on the left a deer hoof and horn scepter and on the right a horn shaker, I’m not sure of the significance or purpose of these but they are definitely interesting. I tanned the bobcat hide underneath them after my sister got him. The 3rd photo is a drum that my mom got for me along with the previously mentioned shakers, and arrow, all from New Mexico.
Fourth photo: On the left is one of four Ezra Brooks whiskey bottles I received from my great uncle, they all look the same. To the right is a copper head snake skin I stapled to a board as a child.
Fifth photo: My girlfriend and I picked up this vase from an antique festival near our home just a few months ago, the seller told us it was from a Navajo artist but I find it strikingly similar to another vase I saw posted at the beginning of this thread! It’s beautiful nonetheless
