| *For
the Southwestern Native American, DEAD PAWN refers to the practice of
converting artwork and possessions into income for life's necessities.
Pawn can also be items from antiquity, heirloom pieces of handmade
jewelry or craft, passed from a family into the public marketplace.
Because much of the pawned merchandise is of real day-to-day value in
the seller's life, the percentage of pawn that goes unredeemed is small,
about five percent. Merchandise that remains for sale after expiration
is referred to as "dead pawn", and items of dead pawn are
among the most highly valued Native American artifacts to be found on
the open market.
