Pair of Girl's Leggings c. 1890

This pair of leggings, crafted by the Gros Ventre artist A'aninin around 1890, is a striking example of Native American beadwork. The geometric design features a repeating pattern of triangles and diamonds in shades of pink, green, blue, red and white on a buckskin background. The vibrant colors and intricate beadwork demonstrate the artist's skill and cultural heritage, and are indicative of Gros Ventre artistic traditions. The leggings are fringed with rawhide, adding a practical and decorative element.
