The lot features an excellent trade knife and beaded sheath from the Northern Cheyenne Native American Indians dating to circa 1890’s. The knife shows an old antler grip with rich yellow patina coloring being inlaid at the hilt with poured pewter in a unique geometric pattern showing a thin iron blade being held into place with iron pins. The sheath shows an Indian tanned hide front with sinew sewn parfleche remnant back. The parfleche has been re-used, likely from an envelope showing the polychrome geometric pattern on the inside. The front of the sheath shows sinew sewn glass trade beads in a geometric pattern showing colors of semi-transparent, semi-transparent pink heart, faceted iridescent and a repaired row of red white hearts. The base of the sheath shows two long rope fully beaded long hide fringe with two rolled tin jingle cones on each along with two rolled tin jingle cones at the top. The sheath also shows a hide tie belt loop. Both show a nice preservation with little bead loss and fine patina. Knife measures 9 5/8”L. Sheath is 14.5”L.
