Ca. 1900- Sioux Beaded Men's Leggings
The lot features a fantastic set of beaded men’s leggings from the Sioux Native American Indians dating to the early-to-mid 20th Century from the Lowell Baier conservationist and historic Native American and Teddy Roosevelt collector. The set is comprised of trade clothe, Indian tanned buckskin hide, and beadwork along a Buffalo hide strip. The beadwork shows a classic geometric strip done in glass trade seed beads in colors of white, cobalt, blue white heart, dark red white heart, and medium green. The bottom edge of the leggings have Indian tanned hide with a red colored mineral paint. The set is trade thread sewn. The stands are comprised of plastic rounded leg shaped stands with metal frame that can be mounted to a wall beautifully. The outside edge shows the bleed line, common on early antique trade clothe and blankets as well as crosses of brass disks with seed beads at the center. Little to no bead loss. Provenance: From the iconic Lowell Baier collection of Native American, Western Art and Teddy Roosevelt museum pieces. Lowell Baier is one of America’s greatest modern conservationist. Each legging measures approximately 36”H by 13”W.
