<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall Ellis, post: 9792136, member: 86784&quot;]Blanket strip, definitely not vintage.&nbsp; The wooden beads and cordage coming out of the rosettes are a giveaway.&nbsp; It looks like the owner tried to dirty it up in order to make it look old, but the vibrant colors are another giveaway that it’s a modern reproduction.&nbsp; The beads are most likely Czechoslovakian or Japanese.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is beaded in lazy stitch that has been so that it lays quite flat.&nbsp; Most lazy stitched blanket strips have a very ridged look on the beadwork.&nbsp; Cheyenne beadworkers often did (and do) very flat lazy stitch, but this is clearly not a Cheyenne piece.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Navy blue sections are classic Sioux blanket strip designs, but the rosettes are a mess stylistically and technically.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, a quite poorly made knockoff of a northern plains blanket strip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
