Navajo, Purple, Velvet Blouse with Conchos

Navajo

1925 - 1940 | Velvet, Silver | Item 2286

This is one of the earliest and most elaborate Navajo velvet blouses that I have seen. There are 12 pesos, 196 small conchos, 9 medium small conchos, 1 large concho (pocket), 2, small elaborate conchos, 2 large butterfly conchos and 2 medium butterfly conchos. The shirt dates between 1925 and 1940. The later date is based on adding items over time, such as the pesos along the button line.
