Research and responses

Probably made by collector. Collection includes supplies of all beads used except the green, but there is an empty tin marked 'Green'. No lines drawn on hessian to help position beads. Design very similar to those used on leggings by Oglala Lakota men who visited London in 1925-26 (DOC).
