This wonderful Pair of Blackfeet Indian Cuffs feature traditional, geometric designs executed using red white-heart, dark blue and cobalt blue colors on a chalk white field. The beadwork is executed on a very heavy, buffalo hide substrate with a patterned, cotton cloth border trim.
The beautiful, Beaded Hide Cuffs offered here are unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. They are NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Pair of Blackfeet Cuffs crafted in the late 19th century. The Cuffs come with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. They are guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
This very rare and very beautiful, Pair of ca1890’s Blackfeet Indian Beaded Hide Cuffs is in very good condition - supple and sound with no wear or damage to the Buffalo Hide substrate. The beading is generally very well preserved with just a small amount of loss to a single strand of red white-heart beads on the border of one of the Cuffs (see the scans below). There is soiling and some wear to the cotton border trim (again, as can be seen in the scans below). All elements of the Cuffs are original and there has been no repairs or restorations - the Cuffs are 100% original and stunningly beautiful.
