A Sioux Indian beaded knife sheath from the Battle of Little Bighorn could be the highlight of Skinner’s sale of American Indian and Ethnographic art to be held on December 2 in Boston.
The 9in (23cm) long sheath, which is beaded with decorative designs, was collected on the battlefield on June 28, 1876, by William O Taylor who served with Major Reno’s Troops in the 7th US Cavalry.
