Sioux Club + age?
Bit of a gamble here but I think there are grounds for optimism of a turn of the 19th century date to this piece. Not by looking at the label. I will have to wait for its arrival to make further assessment and comparison. In the time being I post some pictures to broaden the outlook. All taken from "Art of the American Indian Frontier, David W Penney, Phaidon Press LTD, 1992 The Detriot Institute of Arts" that show other material in a good state made with the addition or completly of crimson stroud trade wool fabric. I add the pictures in a series of replies so they are not jumble up texts. The club.
