This lot features a fantastic hide beaded panel remnant from a men’s War Shirt reused as a Tomahawk War Club drop, dating from the 19th Century. The piece shows an Indian tanned hide showing all 1800s period correct glass trade petit cen seed beads in a traditional geometric pattern seen on tipi possible bags and war shirts. The beadwork shows colors of red white hearts, chalk white, greasy yellow, cobalt, and sky padre light blue. The piece shows various rolled tin jingle cones and a hide tie at the top. The piece was reused from a war shirt, a common practice to reuse old beadwork, and appears to be a tomahawk war club drop. Truly a wonderful circa 1870-1880s piece showing overall good condition with rich beadwork and supple hide. Provenance: From a large Western Cowboy and American Indian collection in Dayton, Wyoming. This piece measures 22”L x 5”W (including hide tie and tin cones).*
