☩ The style definition for this item is rather tentative. Structurally, 3-paneled breastplates are of a variety adopted by Sioux, since the majority of the Northern Plains tribes preferred the so-called «loop breastplates». But this does not mean that they did not wear Sioux-styled breastplates, especially in the late XIX – early XX centuries. Similar reasoning is also true for the symbolism of the Morning Star in the shape of the Maltese cross — it is the same for all the Algonquin tribes of the Great Plains: Arapaho, Atsina, Blackfeet, Cheyenne. Therefore, it would be more correct to classify this item SKU 2330.16.01 as a breastplate in the Northern Plains style.
Funny thing is that this year 541 coldfishes apathetically glanced at this namerican beauty «Cross Horn Hairpipe Beaded Breastplate», and none of them did deign to vote, share, bookmark, make a pin or submit any comment/feedback. Way to go!'
