Vintage Native American Beadwork Chief in Profile fine kuna mola then hand-finished each kernel usingI purchased this one in Maine, from a seller dealing mostly in Northeast Coast Native pieces, which this is, clearly made for tourist market, I believe likely 1940s 50s or so. The beads are tiny and the beadwork very skillfully done, backed with leather and with a safety pin stitched on. 5" t x 4" w and in excellent condition, with beads tightly held and no losses at all that I can see.
