This is a pair of exceptional Sioux Native American Indian beaded gauntlets from the mid to late 1900's. The gauntlets are made on tanned elk hide with wool trade cloth lining. Each one has pictorial beadwork on both side including a floral motif and flying horse figures. The beadwork is done in glass seed trade beads with colors such as Sky Blue, Chalk White, Greasy Yellow, Dark Opaque Blue and Black. Each cuff also has a decorative fringe. The Sioux beaded gauntlets are in excellent condition. The gauntlets are part of the former Rising Wolf Traders collection on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation near East Glacier, Montana. They measure 7" x 17.25" and are approximately size extra large.
