white size 8 seed beads; garnet colored size 8 cut beads; commercial red wool yarn

Loom woven beadwork with yarn warp and weft threads; warp threads braided together at each end in five braids; outside threads left unbraided.

Symmetrical from a central axis consisting of two rows of three hourglasses with cross-wise lines through centers on both outer ends of sash; three sections of three squares joined by length-wise equidistant crosses interspersed with two sections of three rows of four hourglasses with cross-wise lines through them. Pattern is formed with garnet beads on white background.

DIA exhibit text says c. 1850, but I think it could be earlier and not later than 1860. GKS does not allow one to enter simply "c.1850."

Cory Willmott examined this item in the gallery after other GRASAC team members had gone.

Good images are not yet available for this item, as it was on exhibit at the time of the GRASAC visit and not on the list of objects to discuss. Cory Wilmott created a GKS profile after the visit. A DIA Museum Catalogue System (TMS) photograph was later added by Kelly Konieczki as a temporary place-holder image. KK also added all available information about the item from TMS after the visit, however did not research its supplementary files.
