Indigenous Beaded Sash with Deer and Geometric Patterns | McCord Museum #3350005 (License: Personal Use)

This ceremonial sash is intricately beaded with deep purple glass beads and contrasting cream-colored patterns, including stylized deer, triangular motifs, and cross-like symbols, likely representing spiritual or clan significance. The long, tapered ends feature delicate fringe made of natural fiber cords, indicating both functional wear and ceremonial use. The craftsmanship reflects 19th- or early 20th-century Indigenous beadwork traditions of Eastern North America.
