This is a fine example of a Reservation Period Crow belt. Just like the pre-Reservation belts, it is made out of old saddle leather. It is divided into 3 beaded design fields, each one flanked with smaller panels, divided by two panels of brass beads. The belt is edged on both sides with greasy yellow beads.
