    Description

    Presented today is this vintage and very beautiful Plains Indian Beaded Leather watch band and wristwatch. 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 watchband dates from that time. The beadwork is in excellent condition, without any bead loss. The watch is included. It's a 1960's vintage Acqua and keeps very good time (when you remember to wind it!).The backing is an exceedingly soft leather (elk, i think), and the piece is in excellent condition. 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 piece would look great in your beadwork collection, or for everyday adornment. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always Best Regards, Mary
