20s Very Rare Hand Loomed Lariat Flapper Necklace$225.00
Very rare hand-loomed extra-long lariat style beadwork. These were done in girls' schools taught by the Native Americans and part of certain areas of education. Like the needlework, this type of jewelry was taught. This is an advanced piece and I doubt it was actually created at the schools but probably a graduate who continued with the skill.
It is one-of-a-kind and hand-loomed with beautiful glass seed beads and gold bugle beads. The detail in the flowers is amazing and I didn't see any breaks which are rare for an item this old.
The length is amazing over 5. 5 feet!
I will be listing another actual school piece soon.
Length is 60" without the tassels and 64" with tassels.
Own a rare piece of history and art.
