Plains Indian Beaded Belt - Vintage & Beautiful!

Description

Presented today is this vintage and very beautiful Plains Indian Beaded Leather Belt. It comes from an estate of a dear, departed friend who was a respected lecturer, teacher and museum curator. She was part Cheyenne, and lectured and demonstrated extensively on Plains Indian cultures. Also, in the 1960's, she
traveled the northern plains on the Pow Wow circuit, participating in dances, either singly or with a dance troupe. i believe this belt dates from that time. The beadwork is in excellent condition, without any bead loss. The beaded portion of the belt measures 38 inches long and 2 and a quarter inches across. The backing is a very heavy canvas and the 4 leather tassels add another 32 inches to the length. Many of the beads are glass, which gives a beautiful luminous quality to the piece.  Bid with confidence, for as you all know, if the winner is unsatisfied for ANY reason i will immediately return the full purchase price, including return shipping. This belt would look great in your beadwork collection. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always Best Regards, Mary
