BEADED UMBILICAL CORD HOLDERS custom plains beaded naval amulets


Beadwork of the Native American Indian




They were traditionally made for a newborn child that had come into a family. After the umbilical cord fell off - an umbilical cord holder was made as a container for the umbilical cord. This stayed with the child the rest of its life. There are no umbilical cord holders in the ones that we make, but people have bought them for their children and have had the umbilical cord put in. It becomes a family keep sake
