<p>[QUOTE="Kathy Anderson, post: 1451309, member: 10843"]Yup, Native American, plains, could be Sioux, but not sufficiently well versed to say, but see <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/352920520088" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/352920520088" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/352920520088</a>. It's "lazy stitch"; some call it "couched" beadwork. There are "jingles" shown on either side on the pic of the back. These starting appearing on dance dresses among the Chippewa around 1925. They were rolled from the top of tobacco cans and are widely used today, commercially produced. There's no way for me to guess about the stitching without seeing it under a glass and touching it. It could be sinew (older), linen (newer). Is there a shine to the fiber? Do the fibers spread apart by the fingernail? Under a glass, are there tiny frays? A yes to those means more likely linen. And, can you put up a pic of the two silver beads at the top? They, I could guess an approximate age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
