|

| ||||||
This is a wonderful,
whimsical and very large pincushion/needle holder compared to what one usually
sees. The lion is beautifully
articulated covering almost the entire width of the cushion with upright
lashing tail (note humility bead). The
beaded head is a mounded roundel in clear beads accented with ruby red glass
beads and a gray tinted bugle bead for the nose. The brown velvet is entirely intact, as is the red cotton edge
binding, interior lining and the double strand twined handle. An elaborate floral decorates the front,
with another mounded roundel and a feathery frond, with brass hand cut sequins
and hand painted bugle beads on the dangles. The center interior is
heavily padded for holding pins with a pocket beneath. There is slight fading on the sides of the inside
pincushion and the hook and eye closure is missing. It is a wonderful piece of Native American bead work and folk art
combined created by a master bead artist.
The photographs speak for themselves.
