Description
This is an original early-1900s lot of Sioux tribe Native American clothing accessories. You get a beautiful beaded white necklace; a blue, white, and red beaded belt; and two other pieces that I cannot identify but definitely came from the same estate with this lot.The
beaded necklace
is made with many strands of white seed glass beads. In between are solid brass bars with hollow brass beads and red glass trade beads. The ends are wound with a black thread and this still has the original bone disc (or bead) that attaches to the other end. The necklace measures approximately 33" long. It is quite old and as you can see, there are some broken strands and I'm sure some of the loose beads will come off in shipping. There is a small bag full of beads that I have saved and will make sure to save any that come off. This will be included with the lot.
The
belt
is made of the same white and blue seed beads with maroon-colored beads in the center. These are very fragile and as you can see has some missing beads. The belt is in 3 pieces but I'm sure something can be done to reinforce this. The overall length of the belt not including the strings at the end is approximately 33".
The
two center cloth pieces
are made of a black velvet top with a dyed muslin-material trim. On the inside is a tan-colored very old paper. The backing is a floral design material. It is completely hand-stitched and has white and blue beadwork. I'm not sure what these were used for. They measure approximately 11.75" x 2.75" and are in very nice shape with very little damage.
I will do my best to protect these as much as possible during shipping. I'm not an expert in this area so please ask if you have any questions or would like to see more photos. I did show these to a person who is very knowledgeable and he gave me the information including the tribe and age. He also mentioned this would have been from the Midwest area.
Note: The tray pictured is not included.
