The diverse arts category is best described as a full array of materials, styles and techniques—hence the name “diverse.” The classification includes personal attire and accessories, as well as dolls and figurative objects. Then there are also functional objects, such as weapons, cradleboards, boxes and other vessels, shields, furniture, lamps, musical instruments, bullroarers, beaded bottles and other objects. These items can be both traditional and decorative, and also inspired by tradition—for example, bags, pipes, hide paintings, parfleche items, tabletas, masks and sandpaintings. This rich category is always a fan favorite at the market.
