I bought this section of antique beadwork from a museum that was closing down in midwest. It's glass beadwork by the Plains Indians, more than likely from the late 1800's. It was probably a portion that was worn on Sioux leggings. I made it into a hat band with some brain tanned deerskin.

The beaded portion measures 1 3/8" x 8 3/4". The overall length is 24" 

made in the U.S.A.
