The lot features an beaded Indian tanned buckskin arrow quiver and four arrows attributed to the Apache Native American Indians of circa 1890. This early Reservation late Indian wars set shows four crude arrows, three of which shows napped stone points and one copper metal point all being secured with sinew or grass wrappings and hoof / hide glue. Each wood shaft shows a rich patina and ocher paints, with the largest being the most prominent showing red and green strips all being present with the turkey feather fletching being secured with sinew and grass wrappings and hoof / hide glue. The quiver shows very supple soft Indian brain-tanned buckskin hide being sinew and trade thread sewn with old hide hoof glue and pitch along with beaded geometric strips and long, frilly fringe hanging down. The original shoulder strap is still attached and secured with old hide glue and shows several silver color metal conchos adorning. The beadwork shows glass seed, pony and faceted in colors of corn yellow, greasy green, red, black and facet effigy floral base in colors red, black and semi-transparent. Provenance: From the Cyrus Eaton Collection in London England. The quiver itself without the bottom fringe measures 21 inches in length and the longest arrow is 28 inches.
