These "patches" are part of the elaborate costumes used during New Orleans' Mardi Gras Celebrations on St. Joseph's day. They are worn by the "Chiefs" of the Mardi Gras Indians as part of their costumes. The patches are normally taken apart to reuse the beads in a new design. This makes these "patches" very difficult to obtain, as each is an orignal art piece of extrodinary beading.
. A unique piece of Americana.
