Tom Damiani was a master of beadwork and Indian artifacts. He supplied the movie studios with display pieces and props for their films. The beadwork was very exact and reflects the craftsmanship of the Native Americans. After Tom’s death, his crew of Native Americans continued the art of beadwork by producing moccasins, bags, and other accessories and artifacts with the same skill that Tom had taught them.
