Tiny white beads very closely and evenly sewn together forming the background for cross stitch diamonds, the squares and fringes done in brightly colored beads. The old man wearing a fur cap is a Chief, his name is Star Blanket. The very old man sitting in the centre is quite blind and over a hundred years old.
