- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Native American, Western United States, Plains tribes, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A wonderful, hand-sewn rawhide sheath decorated with glass seed and trade beads for holding a unique deer antler and steel knife. The sheath is comprised of two hide panels, sewn up the sides with long tassels tied with colorful chevron and striped trade beads. The frontside of the sheath is decorated with hundreds of tiny seed beads that form a white ground with yellow and green patterns. The front panel is dyed red, and the verso is bare of beadwork and dyed green. The sheath holds a wicked-looking knife formed by a double-edged steel blade affixed to a curved antler handle. Native American knife sheaths were intricately beaded to display the traditional tribal symbols and sometimes personalized symbols of the owner. Knives were prized possessions as well and were often suspended in these sheaths and worn around the neck for safe keeping. Size of sheath: 7.5" L x 3" W (19 cm x 7.6 cm); knife: 10" L x 1.3" W (25.4 cm x 3.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s; purchased from Affiliated Auctions on March 30, 2018
