content: From card: "Cravat or beaded necktie. Rectangular neck band with two hide thong ties at each end and large curved central pendant. Decorated with seed beads in lazy stitch, geometric and floral designs. Given to Dr. Ruhle by Joe Calf Child, a N. Blackfoot Indian from Gleichen, Alberta, at the Calgary Stampede during the early 1930's. Note: Beaded neckties began to be worn by Blackfoot Indians on dress occasions as early as World War I. Mrs. Nora Spanish, Piegan, told me she made one of them for her stepfather, Wades-in-the-Water, about 1917. I saw and photographed fullblood Piegan Indians wearing such ties with their beaded buckskin shirts at sun dances and other ceremonial occasions during the early 1940's. - jce [John C. Ewers]."
