[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4243827, member: 8267"]This collection is coming up tonight at a local auction. It is clearly not 19th century, but I am thinking it might be mid 20th. I was able to examine it, and all the leather is brain tanned. The dress is machine sewn, but the construction is traditional. The beadwork makes use of many cut/hex seed beads, including tubular hex beads. The beadwork on the bag is couched onto a heavy fabric, which forms the front of the bag. It is approximately 14 x 11 inches. (Sorry, I did not take a tape measure in with me.) The sash is pretty simple, made of double layers of leather, machine stitched along the edges, with a few beaded designs. The necklace is on a brain tanned leather cord. The claws are real, though I have not yet identified the animal source. The red on the base of the claws is pigment. All thoughts appreciated. Sorry for the lack of quality in the photos - it was a rush job. Pictures of the sash and necklace are posted in a separate post.
