This is an excellent full-size large tipi liner from the Cheyenne Native American Indians showing a linear beadwork pattern and further accented by early trade beads, dew claws, hide, Germantown like wool yarn fringe dating to the early-to-mid-1900’s. The tipi (also commonly referred to as a tepee, teepee, tepe or lodge) liner is constructed of an old trade tent canvas showing a very large 159 inches by 70 inches rectangular size with a total of eight linear strips of beadwork running horizontally across the entire surface done in early glass trade seed cen beads in colors of corn yellow, orange, red, black, green, and lilac. The bottom edge shows approximately nine drop tassels of Germantown like yarn in a rich red and the outside edges show several Elk dew claws and various early circa 1800’s glass trade beads such as Venetian Fancy Feather in red with a white and blue feather, Venetian “Padre” Sky Blue wound glass beads in “Crow” size, various Venetian Millefiori beads, French “Cross:” spotted bead and a chevron like Murano linear bead with millefiori styling. The beads are strung on hide and leather ties / fringe. Provenance: This tipi liner was found to be an authentic 20th Century Cheyenne example by the experts at Heritage Auctions in their July 2021 Sale and from the collection of one of the largest American Indian collections in Montana. Measures 159”x70”. In overall good condition with little bead loss and some larger trade beads that are in a small bag that have come loose of the piece. The canvas is in good soft condition.
