The lot features a wonderful beaded and tacked hide and harness leather sheath with knife from the Crow Native American Indians dating to circa 1890-1900’s. The sheath shows a harness saddle leather belt sheath which is expertly accented by several rows of solid brass trade tacks along with an Indian tanned Buffalo hide wrap at the top which has an excellent hour glass beaded pony and seed beaded design. The beadwork is sinew sewn and shows a sky padre pony beaded background with three hour glass patterns in seed beads of cobalt, chalk white and Cheyenne pink. The sheath comes with a trade knife which shows a ground down late 19th Century rifle bayonet knife with brass hilt, walnut handle and cast iron cap. The blade shows cross hatching which indicates the metal formerly being a rasp file as well. This is truly a wonderful sheath in a large size with expertly tacked and beaded design. Provenance: From a large and important American Indian collection in Billings, Montana. The sheath measures 13”L by 4.75”W. The knife measures 13 7/8”L. Together they measure 17.25”L.
