Elk Ivory Belt














My friend and model is displaying a fine Elk Tooth Belt that I had originally made for my wife as I giggle. Made from about 2oo replica Elk Ivory's that I had cast and painted from my collection, stitched on a heavy piece of elk braintan leather. Only the richest women in Indian Camp could afford such a belt. "Meets the Charge Woman" is also dressed in one of the finest contemporary beaders of Plains Indian Regalia "Two Bears" from the Laramie Plains. Now I have to replace the belt for my wife here soon.
