Prevalent from 1870 to 1930, these cradles represented a unique, yet extremely practical, art form.

Epigraph |
|
Dedication |
Dedicated to the Kiowa and Comanche people. Cradles made by grandmothers and mothers, aunts and other relatives and passed down through generations were gifts of pride and love. Cradles collected by outsiders “got away” from the families that remembered the makers and recognized their skills. They became anonymous. At the heart of this book are Kiowa and Comanche cradles whose makers and family associations are known to us. From them we can imagine similar family connections for the larger body of cradles remaining un-named in collections around the world. | |
