The lot features a thick Indian tanned Buffalo hide with traditional beadwork from the Cheyenne Native American Indians of the Indian Reservation Era. The piece is constructed of thick Indian tanned Great American Buffalo Bison hide with sinew sewn early glass trade seed beads in a traditional geometric linear pattern and iconic Cheyenne tabs.

The piece shows many rolled tin jingle dangle cones tied to Indian hide with red and yellow dyed horse tail hair fringes.
