The breastplate is strung on deer leather thongs. Attached at the bottom are antique hawk bells and a decorated bronze ring.
The breastplate is given an overall aged appearance to look old.
Original one-of-a-kind item made by a non-Native American artist 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.

☩ «Lakota Hairpipe Beaded Breastplate 2365.09.04» is not a replica item based on a certain historical artifact, but comprises a mix of different elements from several Plains breastplates.
