I BELIEVE THESE CAME OUT OF THE YAKIMA VALLEY AND MOST LIKELY MADE BY THE YAKIMA (YAKEMA) PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO DO THE ROSE DESIGN AND ARE EARLY 1900'S
THESE ARE HAND SEWN AND HAND BEADED AND LINED WITH A CANVAS FABRIC THAT IS WORN - DUE TO AGE SOME OF STITCHING HAS COME APART AND SOME OF THE BEADS ARE MISSING AND THIS IS VISIBLE IN THE PICTURES - I DO BELIEVE THESE ARE MADE FROM ELK AND CONSIDERING THEIR AGE THEY ARE STILL SOFT AND SUPPLE -  THESE SHOW WEAR AND WITH THIS WEAR IS A LOT OF HISTORYPLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS I MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING - AS I'M NOT AN EXPERT PLEASE USE YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE AND JUDGMENT
