<p>[QUOTE="Eric Tipton, post: 9505031, member: 9899"]Hello all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify what these are and where they may be from? I got them with a variety of other antiques in one lot at a small local auction, and I've just never seen anything like them before... I'm actually a dealer, but haven't been able to find something similar. They are definitely old, and they are hand painted on leather, or animal hide.. The old leather has hardened to a wood-like board. My best guess is that they are pieces to a Native American concho belt, but I can't find any like it! Each piece has holes around the edges, and one has remnants of old string or wool. They are rather remarkable, and definitely one of the most interesting groupings I have come across in a long time. Any idea what region they are from or how old exactly? Thank you all for any help!</p><p><br /></p><p>Eric[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
