next to the statue of Pocahontas in

Church when the church was rebuilt
after it was destroyed in the fire of
London.
Below: Ms. Powhatan viewing the wall
copy next to Powhatan's Mantle at the
Ashmolean Museum. It was made by

catalogue of the Tradescant collection.
Made of 4 dear skins and over 7,000
shells of Marginella roscida sewn on
with sinew thread in the form of a man,
his two animal totems and 34 circles
that may have represented the number
of nations within the Powhatan
Confederacy.
