Native American Crow Girls Beaded Belt with Awl and Whetstone Case

$3,250.00

This item is a Native American beaded belt, often referred to as a waist sash, which features two attached functional components: a knife sheath and an awl case. Handcrafted by tribes from the Great Plains or Plateau regions, these accessories were vital elements of traditional regalia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The belt is meticulously decorated with geometric beadwork using vibrant glass seed beads—typically in shades of red, blue, and yellow—stitched onto leather. While the sheath protected a utility knife, the long, slender awl case held a tool used for piercing hides for sewing. Beyond their practical use, these elaborate pieces served as symbols of high social status and tribal identity, showcasing the expert craftsmanship of the maker
