tribal artifacts
Cultural heritage items
Tribal artifacts are objects made or used by indigenous peoples, typically of historical, cultural, or ceremonial significance.
The phrase appears in museum contexts, archaeological discussions, and debates over repatriation: The museum agreed to return tribal artifacts to the community.
The term can carry colonial overtones, reducing diverse cultures to a single category.
