Plains Indian Beaded Vest Sash - 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 vest dates from that time (although looking at it closely, it is possible that it is older). The beadwork is in very good condition, with one small area of bead loss. The beaded portions of the vest measures 28 inches long and 1 and a half inches across, each. The leather backing is very soft and supple.  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
