This is an excellent rare original Sioux Native American Indian fully beaded men's vest from circa 1890-1910. The piece shows exceptional 19th century glass trade beadwork with a chalk white background having a red border and symbols in red, greasy yellow, dark blue, and medium green. The piece is done on Indian tanned heavy hide construction and fringe accenting each side. The piece shows very good condition for its age with little to no bead loss. The vest measures 23.5"H x 22"W (as its pictured) with additional 3.75"L fringe. The piece was purchased years ago for over $2,000. Exceptional authentic early piece. Provenance: From a large Native American artifact private collection in Iowa.
