Vivid peyote stitch beadwork gives this handmade Native American barrette rich color and dimension. A small oval turquoise cabochon sits across the width of the central medallion, surrounded by concentric rings of red, orange, yellow and black seed beads.
Smaller patterned medallions flank the center, while scalloped blue borders and black bead edging define the outline. Hand-stitched on deerskin and fitted with a good-quality French clip, it brings intricate craftsmanship to an everyday hair accessory.
