    Description

    Proudly presented today is this beautiful and vintage example of Plains Indian beadwork, in the form of ornately beaded belt. It is of Shoshone origin, and is 38 inches long and 4 inches across. The decoration consists of opposed triangles with a central
    tepee
    . The
    workmanship
    is just incredible. It dates from the 1940's
    and is in very good condition, with just a few loose beads. The elk hide is by far the softest i have ever seen. It is part of a collection of a very well-known and highly respected Native American teacher,
    lecturer
    and curator, and it is an honor to assist her in making part of her vast collection available to you. Buy with complete confidence, for as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, i will immediately return the full purchase price, return shipping included. This piece would look great in any collection. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always, Best Regards, Rich
