Original Description:
Very rare and stunningly beautiful, ca1920 Native American Plains / Sioux Indian Bone Hairpipe Breastplate in outstanding, original condition.
    This beautiful, Bone Hairpipe Breastplate measures approx. 15 1/2" long and 10 1/2" wide. It contains 72, 4" long bone hairpipe beads along with light, medium and dark blue colored glass beads. This type of hairpipe Breastplate was popular among Native American Tribes of the plains during the late 19th and early 20th c...entury. 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. There are rawhide hanger strips at the top that are later replacements.
    The body of the Breastplate features a harness leather "frame" and 2 rows each with 46, 4" long bone hairpipe beads. There is a central column of medium and dark blue colored beads between the 2 rows of bone hairpipe beads and the outer edges are trimmed with light blue beads. There is also a short, rawhide fringe.
    The images below do not do justice to the beauty of this outstanding 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!!!
    The ca1920 Bone Hairpipe Breastplate offered here is unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. It is NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Plains Indian Breastplate crafted in the early 20th century. The Breastplate comes with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. It is guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
    This rare and wonderful, Native American Plains / Sioux Indian Bone Hairpipe Breastplate displays beautifully and is in very good to excellent original condition overall. The Breastplate includes all 54 bone hairpipe beads with one of the beads being damaged at one end (see the scans below). The structure is sound and strong with some wear and some minor loss to the buckskin fringe at the sides. The Breastplate is 100% original and has no repairs or alterations of any kind.
    We are proud to offer this simply outstanding, early 20th century Native American Sioux Bone Hairpipe Breastplate here, as always, without reserve and with the confidence that it will attract the serious attention that it justly deserves!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
