- Description
- A contemporary martingale and browband with similar beadwork typical Stoney beadwork, tanned hide, white tail deer buffer between canvas and horse.a) Martingale with two beadstrips joined with a beaded rectangle. The beadstrips each have one rounded end and one tapered end with leather strips and thong tied together. Each strip is decorated with groups of red triangles, black and clear triangles, and two pink and red geometric shapes on a white ground. The beaded rectangle is white with four black and orange stepped diamonds with green centres around a black and orange stepped “X”, with two sides filled in with blue. b) Headband for a horse with a medallion hanging at the centre. The band has a similar pattern to the martingale strips. The medallion is white with paired blue triangles and single green squares around a four-point orange star (flower?) with a blue and white centre. The back of the band has strips of leather and loops to attach to the headstall of a harness.
