The lot features an Indian hide knife sheath with parfleche lining adorned with beautiful beadwork dating to circa 1910-1930's from the Sioux of the Northern Plains. The sheath shows Indian tanned hide that is sinew sewn and has a parfleche rawhide hard inside lining. The front is covered in trade thread sewn classic geometric patterns commonly seen on Sioux beadwork showing a chalk white background and triangle and stepped patterns in black, greasy yellow, red white heart, greasy blue and cobalt. The center shows Indian hide fringes with rolled tin jingle dangle cones and the top a belt strap. The bottom also has fringes with rolled tin jingle dangle cones. The piece is paired with a Dexter trade knife dating to circa 1930-1940's with one piece wood handle. The sheath was likely traded soon after being crafted as it is well kept.
