Small Women's size Antique buffalo or cow hide leather Fully beaded vest, arm bands leg bands and belt plus
I found this in a thrift store. It was found with two pairs of moccasins. The shoes are signed inside saying Sioux.
I welcome offers and a portion of the proceeds will go to a Native American charity.
Condition the vest has some wear. A few places with missing beads. A reddish small stain inside. Also missing one clasp clousure.
This appears to be a Small woman size.
The beading is breathtaking. Truly a work of art and Native craftsmanship.
Two cuffs bands arm bands. These have no bead loss present.
Two more cuffs arm possibly leg bands fair condition
The belt is a tie front style no bead loss.
Two separate cuffs. These are in poor shape. Though the beads from these could be used to repair the bead loss on the vest.
No dry rot detected however these smell like old leather and slightly musty.
It truly is a beautifully made set.
