Well, this may not be the riddle of the Sphinx... but just as intriguing.

As the story goes, George Martin was a Quartermaster Sergeant in the US First Cavalry. The summer of 1877, the First Cavalry was en route to Spokane, Washington and while traveling through Billings, Martin acquired the belt from an Indian who had participated in the Battle of Little Big Horn.

This sash is finger-woven using red wool dyed with 100% lac.

White glass beads edge long fringe and decorate the central panel.
The total length is approximately 118".

The family suggested it was Seminole.

New Beginnings

As you may have noticed, we have revamped our website. I think it is a great improvement! And with that, I thought, yet again, to give our blog another go. (Yes, you are right, it is about the 10th time we have done this.) This time however, with a slight change - this will be only about American Indian Art - or things happening that I think you may find interesting...

I would love for comments, so let me know your thoughts!
