Native American Beadwork

Cisco’s Gallery offers an extensive collection of antique Native American beadwork dating primarily from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with particular focus in Plains and Plateau material. The collection includes beaded moccasins, pipe bags, flat bags, bandolier bags, tipi bags, gauntlets, cradleboards, horse gear and other personal and utilitarian objects. Geometric and pictorial designs reflect distinctive tribal and regional approaches to beadwork, materials and technique.
