This is an exceptionally rare Montana Crow Late-19th Century Indian tanned hide and beaded cradle board papoose. The piece shows a wood backing frame that is completely covered in parfleche rawhide and Indian tanned hide sinew sewn and covered with period correct 19th Century glass trade seed beads.

The doll itself has seed beads in the same greasy Cheyenne pink or lilac white heart, petit seed beads in chalk white, blue, and greasy blue and pony beads in a red white heart (and porcupine quill beads or bone pipe beads). The side fringe and top strap, all in Indian tanned hide, has several wound glass padre sky blue trade beads. Provenance: From a large Western, Cowboy, and American History collection in Iowa.
