ORIGINAL LAKOTA SIOUX SINEW SEWN BEADED LEGGING STRIPS -
BEAUTIFUL MATCHED PAIR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION:
This is a beautiful matched pair of original, sinew sewn
Sioux Man’s
Legging Strips of the style popular in the late 19th
through early 20th Centuries. Featuring a
pleasing pattern, both strips are full length, each
measuring 28" long and 2 ½” wide and beaded in six lanes
running the length of the strip. The beadwork is
skillfully executed with sinew on brain tanned
buckskin. There are three small spots that have
experienced minimal bead loss as can be seen in the
photographs; however they do not appreciably impact the
overall presentation of these beautiful strips. The
buckskin shows all the desirable indicators of age,
however it is still supple with no hardened spots or
significant wear.
While they
display very well as they are, this set presents an
excellent opportunity to restore them to a pair of
woolen or buckskin leggings for your collection at a
fraction of the normal cost of a pair of leggings.
Single strips
of this size and quality occasionally find their way to
the market, but seldom do you see such an attractive
matched pair available in this condition and quality.
Don’t miss this opportunity. $1050
