Vintage Native American Beaded Dance Powwow Regalia With Abalone Shells

Vintage Native American Beaded Dance Regalia with Abalone Shells. Incredibly rare Antique Ceremonial Powwow Outfit (8 Pieces total). Atleast 60 years old if not older. Minimal missing beads and would need a proper professional cleaning.

A good expert in the field should be able to restore it to it's glory. This particular piece was held in California by Universal Pictures for some time as it was in limbo for a native Hollywood film set to release next year, I assume it was labeled with a number for this reason. Limited information about the piece itself and tribe affiliation unknown. Please note that these are worn items so please refer to the pictures for condition and expect to see some marks.

Feel free to request additional photos and reach out for specifics if you are uncertain at all about signs of wear. The abalone shell detail and floor length fringe not only make this an incredibly rare find, but quite literally a breathtaking one in motion. Real skin bone fur and feathers.

Happy to share more photos needbe with serious buyers. Was stored in a smoke free environment and handcrafted with exquisite attention to detail using high quality materials. Total number of pieces: 8. (taken while laying flat, as accurate as possible).
