The lot features an Indian hide and parfleche lined beaded sheath with sinew sewing attributed to the Northern Cheyenne of the Plains accompanied by a 19th Century trade knife. The trade knife exhibits a two-piece walnut or rosewood grip with fancy pewter inlaid pattern. The sheath shows a parfleche rawhide wrapped in Indian tanned hide, sinew sewn and covered on the front and top border with glass trade seed beadwork in classic Northern Plains geometric pattern, attributed to the Northern Cheyenne, all sinew sewn. The beadwork shows three large diamond stepped patterns with Maltese cross symbol at the center and a pattern at the bottom. The beadwork shows a light sky padre blue and pattern in greasy yellow, lilac and cobalt, all early trade seed beads. At the middle shows a section of rolled tin jingle dangle cones tied with Indian tanned hide. The sheath shows an Indian tanned hide belt tie. Back shows some signs of hide scraping and some wear. The knife appears to be a wonderful 19th Century example with the sheath appearing to be crafted from early materials in an early pattern with exact age and origin unknown. Provenance: From a large Cowboy and Native American collection in Utah. The sheath by itself measures 14.5”L with belt tie by 3.25”W. Knife is 12 5/8”L. Total weight of 12 oz.
