    Bright colors - hand bead work with "assumed" deer skin bottom - tassels with metal fittings at top (one leg has two metal fittings with one leather tassel attached) please view all photos
    Not certain if this has "umbilical" cord inside - there is hand sewn stitching on back - I did not cut open to verify
    Traditional gift to the native child at birth - the DNA would be fun to verify!

    Circa 1920
