This is a nice Northern Plains Native American Indian 19th Century beaded teeth necklace. The necklace is comprised of old tarnished brass trade beads and thirty-five adult and juvenile Coyote teeth. Some of the teeth have been grounded down and incised with designs. Truly an unusual hunter’s trophy necklace showing nice appeal. The necklace is pictured in the 2009 book “The Mark Francis Collection of American Indian Art” by Mark Francis on page 148 figure 239. Measures 26 inches in circumference.
