    Description

    Antique Victorian Era Handmade by the Iroquois Native Indians Beaded Pin Cushion Pillow Sewing. I have been told these styles were made on an Indian Reservation in Montreal and then sold to the public. A very interesting pattern with 2 birds, a basket and a floral leaf with most of the top being white glass beads and accented with a bit of color. The leaves on the sides are white and multi colors.
    There are various sizes and shapes of beads used.
    The top is purple velvet fabric while the red on the bottom sides is feels like heavier weight cotton. All the beading on the top seems to be firmly attached
    and I have not found any beads missing:
    the ones dangling along the sides have some strands missing. As to be expected, there is a bit of wear on some areas of the top fabric. The bottom feels like glazed cotton, there are some stains and overall aging on it, there also looks like there is period scotch tape remains that I find insignificant. Once filled with pine sawdust which I think is still inside, but no longer smells. Please see all photos prior to bidding for condition. Measures approx 8" X 11"X 3.5" which I have found to larger than most. I do not know what it is filled with, it is considerably heavy as it weighs almost 2 lbs thus the shipping may see a bit high.
    Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. Have a Great Day!!
