Beaded Umbilical Cord Fetish

I am pulling my private stock out and taking pictures of items. This a piece that I had made over Christmas Break at the inlaws a few winters ago. Many plains Indian tribes made and kept these as medicine for there lifetime. Many of them contain there umbilical cords from birth so its an important piece of Plains Indian Culture. Braintan, French Brass Beads and Elk Ivories.
