Crow Beaded Gauntlet Gloves circa 1900
This is an excellent pair of Crow Native American Indian floral beaded gauntlet gloves from circa early 1900. The gloves show an Indian tanned hide construction with calico trade clothe lining and wonderful glass trade faceted beaded original work. The early glass trade beads include all faceted beads in semi-transparent colors of blue, green, Cheyenne pink, sky blue, red, greasy yellow, and more. The set shows beadwork across the glove and gauntlet areas, a rare addition, along with long fringe. The gloves also show a stitched design along the back. These would have been worn by a medium to large Warrior (man) and show well preserved condition. Each glove measures 16"L x 8 5/8"W with an additional 6.25"L fringe.
