This elk hide saddle throw was sewn with sinew and decorated with seed beads. It was remade into a saddle throw, originally we believe it was a woman's robe as you can see painted designs on the under side and among some of the fringe. It dates from about 1900 to the 1920's.
This is an amazing piece of bead-work, and a wonderful example of Plains Indians history and their abilities for not wasting a single usable piece of anything. This piece would make an excellent addition to a collection, or simply as an addition to your home's decor. This piece comes with a museum quality armature to display it on that can be adjusted to hang on a wall or be free-standing.
