The piece features an artful Reservation Period necklace comprised of imitation Grizzly Bear Claws and old glass trade beads. The necklace is made to imitate the large examples such as the example from Lewis and Clark and the example in the Met Museum from the Teton Sioux. An intimidating necklace shows a total of 35 imitation bear claws which are each separated by wound glass pony mustard yellow beads and wound glass pony butterscotch and cobalt beads, two line strung. The claws measure 3 inches each and the necklace overall is 32 inches in circumference in excellent condition. It is said to be of a vintage to semi-antique age from the owner, with this being unconfirmed.
