Description

Belt of Friendship ending the French and Indian War. Very similar design as the Governor Denny (Iroquois) friendship belt. The difference is the image on the left - in line with the mid body there is a purple bead just below (extending from) the 'shoulder' line and a tomahawk (wampum belt?) held upside down in the right hand.
