An Apache beaded hide awl case is a traditional Native American artifact, primarily associated with Apache groups (such as the Mescalero Apache) from the late 19th century. These cases were functional accessories made by women, used to store a bone or metal awl—a pointed tool essential for piercing hides during sewing, quillwork, basketry weaving, or other leatherworking tasks.

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.
