This is an exceptional beaded Cheyenne Native American Indian Buffalo Warrior shield from circa 1890-1910. The shield is from a large Native American Indian collector in Billings, Montana (the same collector that sold the Blackfoot Chief's War Shirt and Leggings at auction for over $663,000). The authentic piece shows excellent 19th century glass trade seed beadwork in black faceted and semi-transparent amber. The piece shows a Great American Bison Buffalo rawhide construction with Buffalo hair border and beaded symbols of a Buffalo with two snakes on either side. The piece displays very well and is truly a museum quality artifact. Measures 21"H x 19.75"W". Possibly steer or horse rawhide.
