Description

Beaded boy’s vest with deep blue glass seed-bead overlay on a soft-tanned hide. White beaded trim outlines the front and arm openings while red, green, and white triangular and geometric motifs decorate both front and back; a red-and-white zigzag border sits above long hide fringe. Leather tie closures at the front are intact, and the interior hide shows natural discoloration and light soiling.Keywords: Sioux, boys vest, beaded vest, glass seed beads, hide, leather fringe, geometric beadwork, blue beads, leather ties, plains beadwork
