The lot features a wonderfully fully beaded sheath attributed to the Lakota Sioux Native American Indians that is accompanied with a 19th Century trade knife. The trade knife is in the style of a Russell Green River Buffalo Skinner or a Foster Bros. Buffalo Skinning knife and is said to date to the 19th Century. The knife shows a worn one-piece carved wood grip fastened to the knife tang with two copper rivets. The blade has a dark rich patina with various cuts, chips, grind or sharpening marks. The sheath show a Great American Bison Buffalo rawhide parfleche construction that is stitched with sinew. The top of the sheath shows a piece of Indian tanned hide with a fantastic period correct style geometric beaded pattern with glass trade seed beads in padre sky blue, semi-transparent dark blue, greasy yellow, and a white-lined or white heart amber or brown/red. The beadwork continues down the outer edge of the sheath with a typical triangular cut-out, seen on many sheaths, and used as a belt loop or tie-off spot. The sheath shows nine later added brass covered iron shank trade or furniture tacks. The piece is from a Great Falls Montana cowboy and American Indian antiquities collection. The entire surface of the sheath shows a red ocher mineral pigment dye. The sheath measures 3.75" x 12.75".
