This is an interesting piece showing a beaded hide rifle scabbard by the Lakota Sioux Native American Indians thought to be made for the Battle of the Little Bighorn Memorial. The piece shows a patriotic beaded design in red white and blue U.S.A. flag patterns with the star section replaced with “1876” surrounded by thirteen stars. The Battle of the Little Bighorn, Battle of Greasy Grass or also referred to as Custer’s Last Stand was fought in June of 1876 in Montana. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument was established in 1879 and later a memorial was held there in 1946 with the last survivors of the battle gathering and the site being official redesignated as the “Custer Battlefield National Monument”. This is thought to date to that memorial. The piece shows an Indian tanned hide with wool clothe lining showing a U.S.A. flag beaded with glass trade seed beads along both sides being marked 1876 several times. The bottom edge of the entire rifle sheath shows excellent crafted thin long Indian tanned hide fringe, a truly artistic and appealing feature. The Provenance: From a historic Eastern Montana American Indian Collection, where the piece was found to be an authentic original, one of the finest collections of American Indian weaponry and antiquities in Montana. Measures 46”L by 7.75”W with an additional 15-16”L fringe.
