You are bidding on a beautiful Native American buckskin beaded vest. The vest shows two-toned Native American tanned buckskin with long fringe across the back and chest and antler rosette buttons down the front. A 2.5" wide strip of bead work covers each shoulder front to back. The beautiful trade-bead beadwork features a traditional Native design in Chalk White, Transparent Light Blue, Transparent Navy Blue, Corn Yellow, Red, and Green. The vest is lined in royal blue satin. This vest also comes with matching sleeves that can be sewn onto the vest to make it a jacket. One of the sleeves is finished and ready to attach; the other sleeve is missing the decorative stitching along the base of the fringe, as well as a cuff (a scrap of buckskin and the necessary buttons are included). Not included to complete the sleeve is the satin lining. The vest measures about 22.5" wide x 27" long. The fringed sleeves are about 25.5" shoulder to cuff hem. The vest and accompanying sleeves are in excellent condition.
