Native American Beaded Horse Hair Dance Bustle 16"x24" -Navajo (23bc7)

This is a very unique Native American dance bustle. Made with genuine horse hair this bustle is an actual Native made adornment by the Navajo Indians. This dance bustle is part of the regalia worn by an Indian dancer during a dancing ceremony. The dancer would wear it on their back, tied around the waist.

Created with natural horse hair, this bustle is masterly handcrafted and features elaborate hand beading in the center. When not in use for dance, pow wow regalia, or reenactments they are usually hung prominently on the wall to display the unique workmanship. Navajo horse hair bustle would look great as a decoration for southwest style or western decor.

Measures 16" wide and 24" long. Actual bustle is shown.

Authentic Native American, Tribe: Navajo, Artist: Linda Lee, Beadwork Artist: Judy Apachito.
