Woven beadwork headband; using cotton thread, white, dark blue, light blue, yellow and red plastic beads. Double arrow design with diamond and triangular shapes. Beaded rosette with border at front centre, sewn on with thread. Rosette; complete circles of blue and white beads sewn on leather circle by spot-stitch, triangle and circle design.
Historic North American indigenous beadwork began with the introduction of glass trade beads to the east about 1675. Designs and motifs spread among groups. Floral designs were inspired by European embroidery patterns. Weaving, netting, spot-stitching, and lazy-stitching techniques were used. Beadwork was used extensively in the plains on clothing and ceremonial paraphernalia. In recent times, plastic beads have been used.
Beadwork is primarily decorative, many design components are named and have specific meanings. Arrow design on this headband.
