Mirror Case with Mirror

Apache 1870/1890

Grand Teton National Park, National Park Service
Moose, WY, United States

Mirrors in all sizes were a very popular trade item, desired by both men and women. Mirrors were used for signaling and reflecting light. During social dances, a dancer might intimidate competitors by reflecting light into their eyes. Mirrors were also used for projection of spiritual power. This beautifully created mirror case was worn around the neck.
