- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Native American, Western United States, Sioux tribe, ca. early to mid-20th century CE; United States, Missouri, St. Louis, ca. 1934 CE. A wonderful collection featuring a traditional Native American rawhide and beaded sheath with tin jingle cones, and a Shapleigh steel and hickory wood knife. The stunning sheath is quite large and is made from rawhide with hundreds of colorful hand-stitched glass seed beads adorning the surface. The glass beads of green, red, white, blue, and yellow hues are arranged in triangular designs. The front is entirely covered with beadwork, except for a row of tassels with jingle cones. The verso is bare, and a braided rawhide cord is sewn to the top for suspension. Native American knife sheaths were intricately beaded to display the traditional tribal symbols and sometimes personalized symbols of the owner. Included is a Shapleigh hammer-forged steel knife with a hickory wooden grip riveted to the tang. The blade is stamped with the dates "1843 to 1934." Shapleigh opened their business in St. Louis to target the settlers and pioneers looking for goods before heading westward. Size of sheath: 10.6" L x 3.3" W (26.9 cm x 8.4 cm); knife: 10.3" L x 1" W (26.2 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: ex-Private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s; purchased from Affiliated Auctions on March 30, 2018
