These "patches" are part of the elaborate costumes used during New Orleans' Mardi Gras Celebrations on St. Joseph's day. They are worn by the "Chiefs" of the Mardi Gras Indians as part of their elaborate costumes. The patches are normally taken apart to reuse the beads in a new design for economic reasons. This makes these "patches" very special, each an orignal art piece of extrodinary beading.
