Antique Leggings 1880s Southern Arapaho Plains Native American Hide Fringe Beads

About the Item

Museum quality Southern Arapaho (Hinono’ei) Native American Plains Indian leggings circa 1880s. Constructed of dyed native tanned hide with viridian green dye and ochre yellow embellished with glass trade beads. The hide is soft and flexible and the fringe is long and flowing. These are in great condition considering age and show signs of ethnographic wear. It appears that at the time of their construction in 1880's, the leather used was repurposed. Each legging measures 35 x 20 width (including fringe) inches. The leggings are on a stand that when hung makes them three dimensional off the wall. Leggings were worn as clothing in colder weather, and also as protection from elements in nature. They would have been attached to a belt and worn from waist to ankle. The Great Plains region of North America Spans from Southern Canada to Southern United States including the states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico & Colorado. The Arapaho people (Hinono’ei) lived primarily on the plains of Colorado and Wyoming with the Northern Arapaho people living in Wyoming and the Southern Arapahos living in Colorado and Oklahoma.
