This is a exquisitely beaded harness leather Crow Native American Indian belt. The piece is from the 19th Century and displays very well. The belt is constructed of heavy harness saddle leather with excellent 19th century glass trade seed beadwork in sky blue, semi-transparent red, medium green, greasy yellow, chalk white, black, dark green, and semi-transparent dark blue. The belt has Indian tanned hide ties on each end. The piece is in overall very well preserved good condition with only slight bead loss. Measures overall 32.25"L (without hide ties) x 3"W. Excellent early piece. Provenance: From a large private Native American Indian collection in Billings, Montana.
