This is an excellent and rare beadwork sampler board from the Great Lakes Woodlands Native American Indians dating to early 1900’s. The board has a hard backing art board or cardboard, which is wrapped in a leather or hide. The beadwork is all loom beaded in a geometric pattern sewn with trade thread and done in glass trade seed beads in colors of Cheyenne pink, semi-transparent rose, butterscotch yellow, black, greasy blue, and semi-transparent green. A sampler board is very uncommon and is a representation of the artist’s total abilities, a showcasing. The piece shows slight bead loss and some fraying of the fringes. Provenance: Found to be an authentic original by an expert in Billings, Montana and from an astounding collection of American Indian beadwork and artifacts from Sheridan, Montana. Measures 15 3/8” by 10 3/8”.
