Included in this lot is a Blackfoot (Blackfeet) moose hide beaded picture frame circa 1890. This unique piece displays glass trade seed beads with colors of greasy yellow, pea green, semi-transparent orange, chalk white, cobalt, and red. The back and center circle of this piece is made out of moose hide. There is no picture placed in the center of this piece, so the piece could also be a signal mirror panel. This piece is in good condition with some normal wear on the hide from its age. This piece measures 6 3/4" by 5".
