Jerry Wilson was a gifted and knowledgeable, practitioner of primitive skills. He made this gorget sporting twin warriors with flint blades and bows. It may be the last gorget he made as it arrived at my house in late December and he passed away in late winter.
Jerry worked at many public events demonstrating his primitive crafts. He taught me (and many others) a lot and I admired his skill. I was able to get started doing shell work thanks to his advice and direction.
Here's to our mentors who pass the torch!
