Sharing a few more interest items from our visit.

That’s supposed to be a mask, but for the the life of me I don’t know how you’d wear it.

The bat dance would definitely be more on point if you wore that.

Ribbit!

“She who catches the bird” is the best translation of midwife I’ve ever heard.

Okay, that’s a bit much.

Beauty is in the eye of beholder.

As I said, for a small museum …. it was a decent collection.

Though thinking about all these countries having their heritage looted a century ago is hard to swallow.

This fellow was impressive.

As well as too tall to photograph in detail in one picture.

As usual, I liked the shoes.

The beadwork was lovely and they look so comfortable.

The Hudson Museum and its treasures.

I love a good museum, and the fact that this one was a complete surprise made it all the more special.

I fell in love with Kachinas when we visited Arizona in 2019.

They’re marvelous!

Seriously, what’s not to love?

For a small museum, the Hudson has some wonderful pieces.

Both ancient and modern.
