Description

Beaded medallion neck collar, featuring the face of a horse at ¾ profile, with a blue sky and orange land in the background. Framing the face of the horse are white triangle beads with points facing outward, lying atop an orange border. From the bottom, four orange beads dangle loosely, followed by a cone shape casing and orange threaded tassel. On top of the medallion, an orange beaded collar with white, black, and yellow feather patterns. On each end of the collar, a buckskin strip of fabric branches out from either end, to tie the medallion when being worn.
