Crow Indian Tepee Ornament

Crow Indian Tepee Ornament - This is a very colorful, yellow and black, beads on buffalo hide ornament that was beaded when the hide was still wet as the sinue goes all the way throught the leather and it is hard. It came out of the Wallace Shanner collection which I aquired in 1982, Wallace Shanner is in the book of "Who's Who in Indian Relicks". I date this to 1870.

The measures is : 5 1/2" long X 5" wide and weighs 75 grams.
