Native American, Central Plains, probably Sioux, ca. late 20th century CE. An exceptional Sioux beaded wood and leather horse saddle, featuring patriotic representations of the American flag, with intersecting pairs of Old Glory on the horns and forks, as well as repeated smaller flags throughout. In addition, numerous depictions of the Great Seal of the United States comprised of red and white stripes but with figures holding flags.
Additional beaded flaps lined with a hide fringe adorn the front and back ends of the saddle. In overall very good condition.23"13"x13"
