The lot features a fully beaded game ball from the Sioux Native American Indians and dating to circa 1950-1960's.

The piece shows a nice spherical shape and little to no bead loss. This is truly a nice example of a fully beaded game ball. Provenance: From an old New Haven, Connecticut American Indian collection. Measures overall 2.75" in diameter.
