Description: These two pieces of a horse crupper feature white glass seed beads on a deer hide strip. Worn around a horse's tail to secure the saddle and harness from becoming loose, this crupper is decorated with black and green "crosses" (symbolizing the four directions) encompassed in circles. In addition, the item displays bands of green, red, blue, and white patterns resembling zigzags and triangles in between the circle motifs. AP2018
