Antique Native American Indian Sioux Beaded Book CoverOffering an antique old lakoat sioux? Indian beadwork book cover. I thought the beadwork looked like plains, when i opened the book a catholic missal, i found an old article from the lakota times wasu duta (red hail) of porcupine, s. D. Wrote to the paper about a march that was starting in mexico with marchers carrying sacred fire and how for over four hundred eyars we have lived in darkness -a darkness that was brought upon us from europe. Also he mentions recently to the west of us, elders took up their pipe and prayed for their young. Those young boys gve hteir lives that the people lived. This may be about pine ridge in the 1970's i don't know. The missal is dated 1944 and the cover fits like a glove on this book. The bead work is on a satin-like fabric that looks 1940's-50's to me as well. Measurements 8 1/2 inches long by 6 inches. Condition the beadwork cover is excellent condition, the missal is ni poor condition, the covers are coming loose. My shipping uqote includes tracking & insurance. Thanks for looking and happy shopping. -hedi on nov-19-08 at 185701 pst, seller added the following informationi added pictures of the interior of the book cover. The missal's leather cover and binding have rubbed off quite a bit on the interior and it has stains. None of the stains aer visible on the exteriro where the bead work is. Photo 6 shows the true color of the beadwork, photo 8 shows nice detail os the handstiching on the interior of the cover. |
