Description:
This set of leggings is made out of glass seed beads threaded onto tall buckskin panels that were then wrapped around one's calves, above mocassins or shoes. The leggings feature a blue beaded background and vertical geometric and triangular patterns in red, green, white, and blue. A line of green is seen at the bottom of the leggings, whereas small white and red "x"s are seen throughout the leggings. The outer portion is fastened with fringed. The upper portion of the leggings are not beaded, revealing the tanned hide. AP2018
