Early 20th Century Sioux Beaded Saddle Drop

This is an impressive piece of Sioux beadwork with very long fringe on each end and large beaded panels.  The beadwork is sinew sewn with very small beads in all of the colors.  The beaded panels are in good condition with some isolated bead loss in the white.  The hide panel between the two beaded panels has a light green wool strip running down the outside next to the short side fringe.  The drop is backed with canvas which shows wear and use.  This is a good looking piece of plains horse gear.

L. to fringe 46"; W to side fringe 14+"; L of main fringes 36"
