    Description

    PURCHASED BY ME AT AN ESTATE SALE IN CONNECTICUT IN THE 1970's. I HAVE KEPT IT IN A GLASS CASE AND OUT OF LIGHT. IT WAS APPRAISED IN 2017 AND I WILL INCLUDE THAT AND THE CARD OF THE APPRAISER WITH THE PIECE.
    THIS IS A SPECIAL SIOUX UMBILICAL BEADED BUFFALO. YOU CAN SEE THE WONDERFUL BEAD WORK IN THE LAZY STITCH STYLE. ALL BEADS ARE INTACT. THERE ARE HANDMADE TASSELS ON EACH LEG AND THE LEATHER IS COVERED WITH HANDMADE METAL CONES. THE BACK STILL HAS THE BUFFALO FUR ATTACHED. THERE IS AN AREA WHERE THE FUR IS THIN AND WORN AWAY. APPRAISER WAS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS WHERE THE CUT WAS MADE TO INSERT THE PIECE OF THE CORD. SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS CORD INSIDE. THE BUFFALO MEASURES 4 1/2" TALL NOT INCLUDING THE TASSELS AND IS 2 3/4" LONG. THERE IS A LEATHER LOOP ATTACHED AT THE TOP WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON SO THE PIECE COULD HANG WHERE THE BABY WAS AS THEY WERE MEANT TO PROTECT THE BABY.
    SHIPPING WILL BE IN TISSUE AND BUBBLE AND WILL SHIP FOR FREE  FOR ALL USA BIDDERS WITH INSURANCE TO COVER THE SELLING PRICE.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING AND ASKING ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.
