"Old pawn" is a term used in the Native American art world to describe jewelry that was pawned by tribes, such as the Navajo, and never reclaimed. The term originated around the turn of the 20th century, when traders would exchange supplies, such as food, rope, and blankets, for jewelry from their Navajo neighbors. The jewelry was often well-made and intended for personal or family use, but was pawned out of necessity or for safekeeping. Because it was often unclaimed, the jewelry is also sometimes called "dead pawn".
