content: From card: "The face of the ... [object] is covered completely with beadwork. The designs are quartered medallions in two shades of blue alternating with stepped diamonds. The background is principally light blue. This is part of the Cooke Collection. Old museum no. 166,035 [sic]. (Probably meant to be 165,035) - called saddle girth there. According to Fr. Peter J. Powell, this is a broad blanket strip on buffalo hide. He feels that stylistically it is not Cheyenne and that the beadwork design and color make it more likely Lakota or possibly Arapaho. 5-5-1989."
