Light brown suede collar type piece that would have been worn over Camp Fire Girls ceremonial gowns. These would have been hand made by the girls with decorations added as they made achievements. Leather lacing on the front and the back. You'll need to undo the laces to get your head into the collar, that's kind of hard.
Short in the back with longer piece down the front. This one has a large Murano glass bead stitched to it with green wood beads down the front and suede emblems with green stamped symbols. Red and black wooden beads at the bottom of the center piece with a symbol on the round bead. Two long leather strands with multi colored wooden beads knotted on them, including natural carved beads. Red and yellow beads along the bottom. More suede strands with color and carved beads on the back.
Pictured on a dress just to show how it is worn, the dress is not included.
CONDITION: The collar is in very good condition. The suede has some light wear and scratches on the surface. A few of the wood buttons are split. Has a light musty smell from storage
