Description
This beautifully crafted, Native American style fringed holster showcases exquisite artisan beadwork and historic coin accents, making it a stellar collector’s piece. Hand-tailored from supple camel-toned suede leather, the face features vibrant royal blue, sky blue, and white seed beads arranged in a striking border pattern and three concentric rosettes. Nestled at the center of each rosette is an authentic United States Indian Head penny, bearing the clear dates of 1903, 1904, and 1905. The holster is finished with a generous edge of twisted suede fringe and a sturdy integrated belt loop on the reverse. The item is in excellent, clean condition with tight, fully intact beadwork, minimal wear to the suede, and natural age patina on the copper pennies. H 11″, W 5″, D 1″. Please see photos for condition.
