Assiniboine rawhide ladies saddle. A Plains Indian saddle from the late 1800s. It is a wood frame, wrapped in rawhide. The stitching on the rawhide is amazing. Sinew sewn, tacks and nails. Not many of these authentic ones survive. The vintage Navajo saddle blanket is included with the saddle. This saddle has leather seat covering. According to Wikipedia, Plains Indians or Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains are the Native American tribes and Nation band governments who have historically lived on the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies. While hunting-farming cultures have lived on the Great plains for centuries prior to European contact, the region is most known for the horse cultures that flourished from the 17th century through the late 19th century. Many of them would have ridden in saddles similar to this. This is an awesome collectors piece that would go perfect in your collection! Age: Circa Late 1800s. Size: Smaller sized saddle overall, but it has about a 12 seat. Condition: Pretty good for its age. Wear, imperfections and missing accoutrements expected. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description.
