Beadwork rosette; strings of plastic beads are sewn on a leather circle in rows of complete circles (not spiralled), by spot stitches. Interconnected loops of string beads make up an outside border. Beige cotton thread used for sewing. Beads are purple and green; design is triangular sections of alternating colours, radiating form centre. Safety pin is sewn onto the back.
Historic North American indigenous beadwork began with the introduction of glass trade beads in the east about 1675. Designs and motifs spread among groups, with floral designs insired by European embroidery techniques and patterns. Weaving, netting, spot-stitch, and lazy-stitch sewing were all used. Beadwork was extensive on the plains, for clothing and ceremonial paraphernalia. In recent times, plastic beads have been used.
