Description: A beautiful sheath in the Cheyenne style from the period around 1870. It is fully beaded with antique seed beads. The sheath is a precise replica of an original piece that was for sale on eBay around 2015. Since the original was in poor condition, I decided to create an exact replica and thus reconstruct it to its original form.
