Hi

This piece came with an Oceanic bow I was after. From the photo I first thought it was a recent re-enactor's piece, but when it arrived I could see it has some fair signs of age and wear/usage. Stitching is of thread not sinew. Browsing the internet, I wonder if it could have been made for the late 19th century "Ghost Dance" ?

Does anyone have some ideas on this, information, references etc ?

Thanks in advance
