A beaded apron with a lager diamond shape center that is black and white (and has a light blue center). The diamond is bordered by a background of blue beads. The left side of the apron has a vertical strip of light blue beads. The top is decorated with a row of green and black alternating squares and above that is bordered with a row of blue beads. Underneath the top panel is a layer of braded fibers (that are not shown ) with beads on the end that are seen below the top beaded panel. A strip of yellow material is on the back that holds all the layers together.
Condition:
Only real wear is on the leather. All the beadwork appears to be strong and in tacked. The fiber appears to be still very strong, however there is a section in the upper right hand corner that a string a beads are pulling away and a re a little lose."
