This fully beaded hand-stitched Native American "Grand Entry" Canvas wall art is a representation of the start of a powwow. To begin, powwow dancers enter the arena in their groups following the flags and veterans. Each dancer represents a category of dancer: the men's double bustle, the jingle dress, traditional in the center, the grass dance, and finally, the fast and fancy shawl.
 
This one-of-a-kind piece was hand-sewn using size 11 seed beads over hundreds of hours in intricate detail. This statement piece would look great in a high-traffic entryway, living room, or bedroom. The boarder is painted along with the edging allowing for a ready-to-hang piece that can also be framed in future.
 
Size: 36"x12"
