Vintage Native American Mandella, Mandela, Mandala. 26 Inches Wide, 5 Feet Tall:
$120.00

Up for sale is a stunning Native American Mandala. Also referred to as a Mandella, Mandela, or Dream Catcher (although I think this one is NOT technically a dream catcher). My client has had it for approximately 30 years, and believes it to be either from the Apache or Chocktaw tribe. The fur could be rabbit, and is quite plush. There are many beads, and I am unsure of the material. It\'s possible they\'re plastic, at least the metallic ones seem that way. The frame is wrapped as well, and is probably wool. There are feathers which seem to be pheasant. On some of the feathers that go off to the left, there are some small parts of the feather that are slightly damaged. On the back is a small hole, about 1/4 inch across. It is 2 feet across and 5 feet long overall (including the leather hanger, about 6 inches)!! Insurance is included with the shipping on this item.

Please see all 12 photos.

So intricate, a true work of art.

I haven\'t seen anything like this one on or anywhere else.

I am using calculated shipping on this item, which may save you money over a flat rate, depending on where you live. The $10.00 handling charge is the cost of the box I had to purchase for it. Usually, there is no handling fee.

THE FINE PRINT:

Greetings!

I do my best to describe items accurately, HOWEVER, I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN THESE ITEMS. I hope you are happy with your purchase. If there is a challenge, please contact me, so we can resolve it. Items sold here are almost exclusively pre-owned vintage, rare or antique items which are estate finds, or come from my consignors. Please take this in to account when offerding, as many will show age. But I do my best to give you an accurate description of the condition and any flaws I see. All items are shipped from a non-smoking home, however, from time to time I may have a consigned item from a smoker’s home. If I notice an odor, I will note it in the listing. I try and think of all the different angles to take pictures. If I\'ve forgotten something, please let me know what you\'d like to see.

Please pay within 2 days of purchase. If you are not going to pay within 2 days -- PLEASE DO NOT offer. SERIOUSLY. I’ve seen similar statements for years on , and thought, “That sounds a little harsh, what’s the problem? Of course, they’ll pay, they offer, didn’t they?” Well, the problem is a lot a people offer and either think it’s fine to pay in 3 weeks, which it’s not, or they never pay. I do my best to be a good seller; I want to do business with honest buyers. Also, will automatically open an unpaid case against you after 4 days. This could hurt your buying ability in the future.

Positive response is very much appreciated. Please leave positive response after you receive your item, and I will do the same for you. I strive to mail your items out the next business day after payment is received (Monday through Friday). Occasionally, it takes me 2 business days, but this is the exception. And sometimes, if payment is received in the morning, I can get your item out the same day. I try and ship items either Priority or First Class, as I know you\'re excited to receive your item. But with postal rates climbing, sometimes this is too expensive, especially with odd shaped or heavier items. In that case, I will ship Parcel Select. I try to estimate my shipping costs so that I am not making money, but not losing money either, and takes a cut of out shipping charges, which means I don’t have the full amount to work with. I will often use recycled boxes, etc., so I do not have to pass on the cost of buying boxes to you. I will usually mark the shipping as “economy”, but if I can ship it faster, I definitely will. I do not ship internationally.

INSURANCE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN A SPECIFIC sale. IF YOU WOULD LIKE INSURANCE ON AN ITEM OVER $100.00, OR AN ITEM THAT IS NOT SHIPPING PRIORITY MAIL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL SEND YOU AN UPDATED INVOICE WITH THE CORRECT AMOUNT. ITEMS THAT ARE SENT PRIORITY MAIL ARE AUTOMATICALLY COVERED UP TO $100.00. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO BUY INSURANCE, I CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERY OR DAMAGE AFTER ITEM IS MAILED.

Thanks for your understanding.

If you win multiple sales, I’m happy to combine shipping. Please contact me to make sure I haven’t overlooked giving you an updated shipping amount.

Jewelry will come in a silk jewelry bag ready for gift giving.

Thank you for looking at my sales!
