An antique Shoshone ot Plains beaded bracelet is a traditional Native American beadwork from the Great Basin or Plains regions, often dating to the early to mid-20th century (e.g., 1930s–1940s examples are common in collections).
The Shoshone (including Eastern Shoshone from areas like Wyoming's Wind River Reservation) are known for intricate seed beadwork on brain-tanned hide or leather, featuring geometric patterns, crosses, florals, or bold colors like red, white, blue, green, and accents in brighter hues. Plains tribes (such as Arapaho, Cheyenne, or Sioux influences) share similar styles due to cultural exchanges, with beadwork often on soft hide cuffs or bands.
