Featured in this lot is a Montana Crow Native American Indian beaded hide breechclout. The Breechclout (or breech clout), otherwise known as the loincloth, is a long rectangular piece of cloth or hide, usually with a decorated front, to be worn between the legs (with this example being attached to an Indian tanned hide belt), so that the flaps fall down in front and behind the user. It is sometimes called the breechclout, loincloth, skin clout, clout apron, or just the flap. This example shows tanned leather construction with glass trade seed bead geometric and floral designs. The beads display chalk white, orange, cobalt, dark blue, and medium green with transparent green, blue, dark red, yellow, orange, light blue, light green, clear blue heart, clear pink heart. The breechclout shows leather tassels across the top and sides, with some displaying bead accents. The piece would have been worn as a breech clout front skirt panel on a warrior as a ceremonial dance outfit. The breechclout shows good condition overall, with some light wear across the pieces. The panels measure 13 1/4" tall by 14 3/4" wide.
