This is an excellent and scarce Crow Apsaalooke Native American Indian beaded cradle fetish dating to circa 1870. The fetish is comprised of trade clothe in a four-point pattern with Indian hide fringes of red dyed hair and rolled tin jingle dangle cones and a geometric pattern in 19th Century period correct glass trade seed and petit beads. The beadwork shows a geometric tab pattern in colors of chalk white, cobalt, red white heart and semi-transparent green. The back shows an Indian tanned hide tie and fringes. The piece is similar to an umbilical cord fetish in pattern and would have been tied onto a cradle (cardleboard, cradle board, papoose). Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector, Bruce was also the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman, which was both part museum and gallery, this piece is directly from the collection. The piece shows some slight bead loss, thread loss, small dry crack in the center of the trade clothe, but still in well-kept condition. Measures 4 5/8” without the fringes, 8” with the fringes.
