Antique Native American cloth model Cradleboard and necklace from KIOWA tribe early 20th Century Oklahoma. This item has been relisted due to description clarification in regards to condition and type of Cradleboard model and necklace. This is a beaded cloth Cradleboard model that was acquired in Oklahoma in 1908. This is antique and there are some condition issues. There are some small tears on the underneath of the cloth. There is s section on the bottom of cradle that is missing som...e beads and has some wear to cloth. There is a bead and metal heart decoration on the top of the Cradleboard that has fallen off but is in a ziplock bag with some other beads that have fallen off. The wood section of the Cradleboard is all there, the string that held them together has become too brittle to keep it together. The Cradleboard measures about 26 1/2 inches over all. PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILED CONDITION. There is also a Kiowa floral design beaded necklace that has been with the Cradleboard since it was acquired in Oklahoma. This necklace comes with this Cradleboard. Great care will be placed in the shipping of this item and item will be insured. Thanks for looking and good luck!On Jul-22-19 at 13:51:43 PDT, seller added the following information:Just to clarify, this cradle is a not a full sized baby cradle but a model cradle that Native American children used for their dolls.
