Plains Beaded Shirt, Legging or Blanket Strip 20th
The lot features a set of loom beaded strips, likely remnants or made for a shirt, leggings, or blanket, from the Plains Native American Indians, likely from the Sioux or Arapaho tribes. These 20th Century, early to vintage examples show seed beads in a geometric pattern with colors of light blue, cobalt, red, and white. There is some fraying to the trade cotton threads and very minimal bead loss. Each strip measures 30 ½ inches long by 2 inches wide.
