Native Beauty -"First Glance" by Lee Bogle. Fourth in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $60.00
At first glance you don't see the terrible heartache this young maiden suffers. You're captivated by her exquisite features; you imagine her raven hair rippling in the wind. You can hear her soft voice, her gentle laughter, her warm and gracious touch.
But her father has promised her to Thunder Bear. He is a brave and wealthy warrior who has counted many victories in battle. He will give her father many horses. Any other woman would be proud to have him as a husband. But her heart belongs to Little Plume — a man far more noble than Thunder Bear could ever be.
Nevertheless, her father is to be obeyed, and tonight she will consent. Yet, you can't help feel pity. If there were just some way you could help her through this terrible sacrifice.
For this fair maiden, her beauty is a curse. Because of it she must give herself to a man she'll never love. While Little Plume, the warrior she wants as her own, must fight the battles of life on his own.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
