This is a Sioux Native American Indian quill worked wearing blanket medallion patch from circa 1890. The piece shows excellent rich ocher dyed porcupine quill work in orange, red, and light blue. The piece shows some slight loss to the quill work, but overall a fantastic piece. The medallion is made on Indian tanned hide and shows a mother of pearl bead in the center with white Ermine hide fringe having greasy yellow and red pound beads. The piece is very well done and in scare form. Measures 5" in diameter.
