Inspirational recreation of late 19th c. Lakota bone hair pipe dance breastplate made in the genuine spirit of a piece that could have been crafted in the latter quarter of the 19th century and the early reservation period, in a style worn by the Lakota. Coordinates with the matching choker NAM-2026. Made by me in 2008.

☩ Aesthetically old-time Plains Indian jewelry adornments of the mid-19th century are much pleasing to my heart and I like them better than later ones. It is quite easy to understand what period this or that breastplate belongs to: if it's long enough and hangs down below the waist, it is most likely that it was made in a later period for dancing purpose, not as a warrior's paraphernalia.
☩ «Lakota Bone Hairpipe Breastplate (replica)» SKU 2326.08.02» is my own reproduction work after 1870-s Lakota original piece which is kinda transitional in character: it's much longer than earlier pieces, but displays a clean and simple (laconic) design. Made by me in 2008. All parts have been artificially aged as to make it feel like a real old artifact from the Buffalo days and not to look like a new-age junk. In 2011 this breastplate was used as a props in an advertising photo shoot for a L'Officiel Russia magazine.
