Rodeo or dance cuffs
| Description: |
During the late 19th century and early 20th century, the popularity of rodeo champions and western movie stars transformed working cowboy clothing into western fashion. Many Native Americans began to adapt European style of dress to their own style, decorating clothing with distinctive Native American beadwork, embroidery, and designs. These beaded cuffs, made in Canada about 1915, are an example of this crossover: notice the Union Jack flag and floral motif on the cuffs. |
