Chief's vest intricately heavy beaded artisanship depicts family and tribal significance through the use of beaded representations of animals and symbols (fish, snakes, the hare, faces, shapes, colors and the use of cowry beads). I is said that when the wearer of one of these vest entered a village the inscriptions on the vest identified its wearer and possibility family rank or worth. I suggest vest be mounted and incased. Old exact age unknown fragile fabric.
