Nez Perce beaded gauntlet gloves. Adult men’s size

Nez Perce beaded gauntlet gloves are a type of traditional Native American hand covering made by the Nez Perce tribe, who were indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The gloves were typically made from leather and decorated with intricate beadwork patterns, a form of cultural expression and storytelling for the Nez Perce people.

Beaded gauntlets like these were often worn during special occasions, such as powwows or other tribal events, and were considered important cultural artifacts. The beading on these gloves would have taken many hours to complete and was done using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
