Description

"This 1 1/2 inch wide circlet is solidly beaded in white with red and blues in a triangular design beaded through the center. Red beads are used as edging. In the early days when I (Cleora Helbing) traveled to various Indian schools, there were clubs for faculty and visiting officials, and practically all these clubs used napkin rings, setting aside one expressly for me because they only changed the linen napkins once a day. This napkin ring, made either by a Uintah or Ouray Indian, was given to me by the club members at the Uintah and Ouray Boarding School at Whiterocks, Utah."
