As gifts of silver ceased with the dwindling fur trade, Aboriginal silversmiths began crafting ornaments of their own. The Luckenbooth brooch – a single or double heart surmounted by a crown – is a Scottish design much favoured among the Haudenosaunee. Here it has been reinterpreted, with the double-heart terminating in eagle heads. Silver jewellery was carefully polished before being worn, as tarnished objects symbolized tarnished relationships.
