Description
"Sky blue, oblong beads are strung together to make a chain, ending in a medallion. Just above the medallion, red, orange, and black oblong beads are inserted in the chain. These colors are repeated in the medallion itself where a red, orange and black beaded eagle is worked, and where red, orange and black fringes hang from the base. The medallion is solidly beaded in small round blue beads. This was made by Mrs. Maude Campbell, and Oklahoma Indian, who at the time she made it was at the Riverside Indian School, where her gifted daughter, Mrs. Harold Barse teaches music. She has a beautiful singing voice. Mrs. Campbell was a Kiowa-Delaware Indian."
