The lot features a nice set of fully beaded armband cuffs from the Cheyenne Native American Indians and dating to circa 1890-1900’s. The set shows an Indian tanned Great American Bison Buffalo hide with old trade clothe that is fully covered in a traditional geometric early reservation period beadwork. The beadwork shows a chalk white background with semi-transparent red border and strong patterns of cobalt, semi-transparent red, sky padre blue, greasy yellow and Cheyenne pink. The set shows some small bead loss of the front of each cuff as shown in the photos. The cuffs each show a nice section of long, frilly fringes in a nice supple soft condition. The set ends are sewn together. These each measure 11 inches long by 6 ½ inches wide.
