Small, Sioux, Beaded Hide Bag

Sioux

Circa 1875 | Hide, Glass Beads, Dentalium shell | Item 2560

This is the most charming, small, beaded bag. Deep blue make up the background color. Design elements are added with: white, greasy yellow, light blue, red with white hears, and translucent red beads. Besides the hide fringe, there are four bead drops, two from the top corners and two from the bottom corners. The drops at the bottom divide into two strands and end with a dentalium shell. The top hanging hide has eight, large green beads topped with two even larger faceted deep blue beads. This bag is small, but it carries a punch!
