The lot features an outstanding porcupine micro quillwork hat headband from the Northern Plains Native American Indians, dating to circa 1890-1900. This is some of the finest micro quillwork we have ever offered, showing immense detail and a wonderful geometric diamond pattern in natural cream and dyed pink, red, orange, yellow, and tan/brown/grey. The piece is constructed on old red trade cloth with velvet old black trade cloth ends, sewn on one side of a button clasp (the other side is missing). The piece has the original museum tag sewn on the back, which reads “G-77-2137-c-s”. Provenance: From the Sherbrooke Seminary Museum collection Amérindiens des Plaines du Nord. The piece was sold directly from the Seminary Museum through Encheres Champagne out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, along with many other deaccessioned museum pieces. Measures overall 24.25” L by 1” W.
