The lot features a classic Southern Cheyenne beaded Buffalo hide knife sheath and circa 1870 old trade knife. The sheath is comprised of Indian brain-tanned Buffalo hide with original braided belt tie and fringes still attached along with a row of hand-rolled tin cone jingle dangles at the midsection of the typical Cheyenne geometric beadwork. The beadwork is in a traditional “bar” design in colors of greasy yellow, chalk white, semi-transparent Cheyenne pink, greasy green, and light sky blue. The beadwork appears to be done in all old glass trade seed beads being sinew sewn. The outside of the sheath hide has a nice mineral pigment yellow ocher finish. The old 19th Century trade knife has a walnut handle with side notch cuts, possibly kill mark cuts, and is secured with three copper rivets. The blade has been worked down to a narrow point and can be referred to as a “fighting knife” or “stabber”. The sheath appears to be of an early age being well preserved with little to no bead loss. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Jim Bastian Kansas City, Missouri. Sheath measures 9.5”L by 3”W. The knife is 10.25”L.
