Fantastic Vintage to Antique Beaded Whimsy. Known to have been made around the Turn of the century by the Iroquois in the Northern NY and Canadian area. These "Roadside" souvenirs are often referred to as Pin Cushion.

A mix of 3/D flowers, leaves with a Pear Centerpiece gives this piece a remarkable presence. Add it to a collection or start one. This piece is in overall excellent condition. There are some beads missing, as well as some "threadbare" areas on the top middle panel, as this piece does appear to have been used as a Pin Cushion, with a few pins still in place. Please ZOOM the photos to appreciate all the details, as well as to best understand overall condition. Please feel free to ask questions. Piece measures 8.5" x 8.5" x 3 thick.
