Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:14340 |
Exceptionally rare and stunningly beautiful, ca1910 Native American Sioux Indian Bone Hairpipe Breastplate in outstanding, original condition.
This beautiful, Bone Hairpipe Breastplate measures approx. 14" long (not including the beaded neck hanger) and 10 1/2" wide. It contains 60, 4 1/2" long, bone hairpipe beads along with turquoise glass beads along the mid-line and at the top and bottom of the Breastplate. This type of hairpipe Breastplate was popular am...ong Native American Tribes of the plains during the late 19th century. We recently owned a very similar example that was identified to the Pine Ridge Sioux and we believe that this Breastplate is also of Sioux origin.
The Breastplate is constructed of harness leather, bone hairpipe, glass trade beads and short buckskin fringe. The upper, hanger portion (above the hairpipe) is strung with turquoise glass beads with attached rawhide neck piece. The body of the Breastplate features a harness leather "frame" and 2 rows each with 30, 4.5" bone hairpipe beads. There is a central column of turquoise glass beads between the 2 rows of bone hairpipe beads. The buckskin fringe at the sides are short.
The images below do not do justice to the beauty of this historic piece Native American Art and we guarantee that whoever is lucky enough to be the high bidder, will be blown away when they view the Breastplate in hand!!!

It is guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
