Cheyenne Beaded Woman's Dress 55" long x 50" cuff to cuff. Beautifully beaded in geometric shapes with yellow, red, green, white, light blue and cobalt blue beads, accented with fringe all around the yoke. Large yellow trade beads and fringe drops decorate the waist as well as a nicely beaded strip and flower and star designs along bottom. On Native tanned hide. Late 1800s. $15,000-25,000 Provenance: The Cameron Collection, CO, AZ, NM, MT, WY.

Condition

Beadwork is overall excellent with the exception of one missing lane on one side of yoke and what appears to be a repair in a beaded square on the opposite side. Hide is soft and supple showing some minor discoloration and a 1" hole near waist. Overall great condition.
