- Lot Description
Native American, Northwestern United States, Columbia River Plateau region, Nez Perce, ca. 1930s to 40s CE. A beautiful horse mantle shaped from a length of buckskin with a cloth underlayer. The rectangular cloth features a light tan hue, beautifully complemented by colorful glass beading of elaborate geometric motifs. Featuring vibrant tones from orange to violet, the beading forms a square panel at each end, both comprised of an 8-pointed star encompassed by a border of nested triangles, as well as a thick band down one long periphery of additional triangles and cross patterns. A lengthy fringe extends from beneath each square panel, creating elongated tassels that move and sway with ease when jostled, likely intended to accentuate the movement of the horse during a ceremony or procession. This dramatic movement would be even more accentuated by the lustrous sheen produced by each bead when it catches the sunlight. Size (without fringe): 54" L x 14.25" W (137.2 cm x 36.2 cm); (with fringe): 83.5" L x 14.25" W (212.1 cm x 36.2 cm)
