The lot features a Northern Plains beaded medicine bundle with carved bone whistle that has been beautifully framed. The piece exhibits Indian tanned hide braided ties holding onto a fully beaded medicine man bundle with ring design, similar to other beaded rattles. Hanging off the ring shows an ermine hide with old wound glass padre bead along with Indian hide sections with medicine bundle fringes showing yellow and red ocher mineral pigment dyes and covered in glass trade seed beads. There is also a bundle beaded at the center, likely an umbilical cord fetish made of Indian hide covered in geometric glass trade seed bead beadwork. At the center tied onto the braided Indian hide ties is an animal bone carved into a medicine man whistle showing an etched scrimshaw design. The piece is professionally framed with a rustic wood design and displays well. The piece looks like it is well kept and from the mid-to-late-1900's. The medicine man bundle measures overall 20.5-inches long and the frame is 31-inches long by 16.25-inches wide.
