The lot features a polychrome painted parfleche remnant sheath with beadwork from the Sioux Native American Indians paired with an old trade knife. The knife shows a long slender blade with split possibly one-piece solid wood handle that has been wrapped in wetted and stretched parfleche rawhide that is sinew sewn. The handle wrapping shows deep chocolate brown patina from sweat hands age and use and the blade has a nice coloring. The sheath shows polychrome painted geometric pattern parfleche remnants, likely re-used from a storage container with hide sewing adorned with geometric glass trade seed beadwork and a row of rolled tin jingle cones. The beadwork shows greasy blue, chalk white and red whit hearts. The rolled tin jingle cones are all on Indian tanned hide fringe attached to the sheath with sinew and hide glue. The parfleche shows red, green, blue coloring. The sheath appears to be of an older age likely changed and added to over the years. The knife appears to be of a 19th Century age. The sheath measures 11 1/2" x 4" and the knife measures 14 1/2" x 1 1/2".
