Description
This mosaic image is formed from a collection of Indigenous arrow heads. The inscription notes that the arrowheads were collected, assembled, and mounted by Harry H. Perkins in 1937 for Geology Professor C. K. Cabeen of Lafayette College. Here, Indigenous objects were transformed from utilitarian hunting objects to an image that reflects the professor’s interest in collecting, stone, and education.
