From a once much larger and varied collection, each of the pieces comes with a certificate from a Honk Kong art appraiser stating that it dates to into the T’ung Chih period of the Ching Dynasty, c.1862-1864.

LARGE BEADED BELT, CROW OR NORTHERN CHEYENNE Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Americas: American Indian: Handiwork: Pre 1970 item# 447097 (stock# TEH.F08.3)
click for details		HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $900.00
From the estate of the late Chester Howard, this rather spectacular beaded floral strip or belt (TEH.F8.3) measures 30 ½” x 4 ½”. Dated to the mid 20th century, Howard noted that the belt was either Crow or Northern Cheyenne. Due to the initials ‘MS’ shown in cobalt beads, it is believed that the belt may either have been made under contract for a specific party, or that the initials were for the name of the Native American who made the belt. The back of the belt is canvas with a single irregula ...click for details

click for details		HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $2200.00
This decorative, early 20th century pipe-axe (RLK2) was purchased in March of 1988 at a shop in Ft. Collins, Colorado where a Native American named Night Walker was selling items from his personal collection, as well as those from others of the Northern Plains reservation to which he belonged in order to support needy tribal members. The axe, with an 18” long pipe stem wood handle, has an 8 7/8” long cast brass axe head stamped ‘Canada’ and a stamped arrow touch-mark pointed down towards the top ...click for details

YAKIMA BEADED BAG, MID-20TH CENTURY Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Americas: American Indian: Handiwork: Pre 1970 item# 447037 (stock# TEH.F06.2)
click for details		HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $1500.00
This large and colorful beaded bag (TEH.F6.2) is from the Yakima tribe of Washington. Measuring 10” x 12” in size (not counting fringes or thong handles), the Plateau bag dates into the mid-20th century and was once glued into a decorative frame by its owner, the late Chester Howard. In overall very good condition with a bold floral design on a deep yellow field near which two butterflies pose to alight, there are a few light stains on the beadwork. The supple hide back of the bag has some mildl ...click for details

LARGE BEADED AND QUILLED SIOUX PIPE BAG Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Americas: American Indian: Handiwork: Pre 1970 item# 447028 (stock# TEH.F01.1)
click for details		HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $1500.00
Although sinew sewn and quilled in the Sioux style, there is a question about whether this large and colorful bag (TEH.F1.1) was really Native American made. It appears to date into the mid-20th century, but at least one collector and dealer has expressed the opinion that it could have been made as a Boy Scout project, although another thought it was simply of late vintage. Probably no way of really knowing, but a potential buyer should consider this if looking for a bag that was unquestionably ...click for details

This beaded black felt bag (TEH.F3.2) measures 7 ¼” in length and 5 ¼” in width. In overall good, worn condition, the interior of the bag below the drawstring is lined with canvas. Once glued to a decorative frame by the late Chester Howard, the bag was easily removed with acetone. Noted by Howard to be Chippewa in origin, the floral beadwork points to an early 20th century style incorporating a fair number of faceted metal seed beads. There is some bead loss along the trim at the top of the bag ...click for details

click for details		HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $450.00
This earlier 20th century beaded circular bag (TEH.F9.4) is from the collection of the late Chester Howard. Measuring just a bit more than 4 ¼” from top to bottom, round bags of this style were called medallion pouches for the early Indian Peace Medals they were designed to hold. The beadwork is in overall good condition, but the leather itself is rather stiff and has a small tear and hole on its lower backside. It also has some spots of light discoloration on the back where Howard applied glue ...click for details

This heavy, 9 ½” long black soapstone carving (BB66) depicts a powerful Eskimo hunter atop an ice flow below which lies two wounded seals. Reportedly from the Port Harrison area of Alaska, the highly polished piece is unsigned and in overall very good condition with a small chip on the rear corner of the carving just below the heel of the hunter’s right foot. Two ivory or bone implements (spear, knife, harpoon?) may not be in the location intended by the artist, and both of the pieces are damage ...click for details
