Hello all, I know zero about Fur Trade, or any other Indian artifact.
A couple of years ago my Mother mentioned that my deceased Stepdad had some type of Indian something. I asked my Mom about them over the Thanksgiving holiday, and took these photos. This was mentioned at the same time as another item that I believe was passed down from his ancestors. I believe these items may be related, and I have my theories, but will keep them to myself until I get some information based upon just this item. Basically I am wondering what this is? What tribe and era is it from?
Thanks for your help!

Can't wait to find out! Those look like some AWESOME pieces! If you don't get many replies here, post it in the North American indian finds just above this one, I bet you will get a better response!
 

I did not know what a wampum belt was until I googled it, but it appears they all have tassels on the ends.
This piece has two leather pieces tied into a loop on one end and two untied leather pieces on the other end.

Thanks for your help.
 

Thanks IAMZIM.
Its 3 pictures of the same piece.
