Beadwork is an art form expressed and practiced throughout Native American Tribes. Each tribe has designs, colors, patterns and techniques that they are identified by.
There are many styles of beading, but two very distinct types include the lazy stitch—often called lane stitch, and the tack or flat stitch.
The lazy stitch is a common technique throughout the Great Plains region and was one o the more traditional styles of beading. It was and still is used for clothing and a lot of the traditional regalia of the Native American people. The beadwork is composed of lanes with many rows of beads. The rows of beads can have up to nine beads at a time. This style of beading is used for many of the geometric designs.
Sash belt is in good condition, little to no bead loss noted. Measures 34.75"L x 1.5"W
