Sioux Indian Beaded Childs Outfit
This Sioux Indian Beaded Child's Outfit set was probably sewn made in the 1980's or '90's. An important decoration of dance ceremonies and rites, this is fully covered in seed beads...front and back. The impressive work was hand sewn using the lane stitch on brain tanned hide. The colors include: chalk white, greasy yellow, maroon, wine red, royal blue and green. Beautifully lined with prairie style cotton prints with no seams! The workmanship is extraordinary and for the most part in excellent condition. There are 2 pulled stitches which are shown in the close-up. This Sioux Indian Beaded Child's Outfit is a museum quality collectible that speaks to the patience and talent of the maker! Made to fit an average 6 year old boy. Flat laid out measurements: Vest - 13-1/2" wide at underarm, 19" long, top of shoulder to bottom of fringe. Pants - 12" side to side at waist, 22" long from top of waist to bottom hem. This was acquired at a vintage American Indian art & jewelry auction.
