The lot features a beaded arrow quiver and three iron point arrows from the Sioux of the Northern Plains dating to the late 19th century. The quiver is comprised of Indian brain-tanned buckskin with a line of short fringes running down one side and a strip of old red stroud trade clothe running along the reverse side. The top rim has an old red stroud cloth border and the buckskin shoulder strap is attached with old tarnished nickel saddle stud tacks. There is a large, beaded bottom cap attached that is about 3-inches high by 4-inches wide, beaded along all sides and bottom in traditional Sioux geometric patterns in all period glass trade seed beads with colors of greasy yellow, chalk white, semi-transparent green, and red. The bottom cap is made of thicker Buffalo Bison hide. These types of beaded, thicker hide bottom caps were often made on quiver so that over time the arrow tips would not poke through the bottom, as would happen with softer buckskin hide. The three arrows have iron points in traditional notched form with turkey feather fletching and each measures about 26 ½ inches in length. Likely a later addition. The quiver has some minor and expected wear. From a young warrior or hunter from the late Reservation period, used for small game, as the Buffalo was nearly non-existent at this point. From a private collection from Ohio of Native American beadwork and weapons. The quiver measures 19 inches in length.
