Description
This pair of vintage Native American style buckskin leather gauntlet gloves showcases beautifully detailed floral beadwork in vibrant blue, green, yellow, and red seed beads across the back of the hands and wide cuffs. Exhibiting classic Western or Plains-style craftsmanship, the gloves feature extended long-fringe detailing along the outer seams and are completely lined with a classic red, green, and black plaid cotton fabric. They present in well-loved, vintage condition, showing authentic wear, heavy soil, and dark patination on the palms and fingers consistent with age and field use, though the hide remains notably supple and the beadwork is remarkably intact. H 12″, W 6.75″, D 2″. Please see photos for condition.
