You are bidding on an Iroquois beaded bag, believed to be late 19th Century. The crafter used only four different bead colors: transparent, light blue transparent, gold transparent, and larger, tubular, dark green transparent beads. The crafter beaded the beads onto brown velvet and framed it with beige and brown ribbon. The pouch is trimmed in red around the body and lavender around the flaps. The inside is lined in cotton. The pouch is in good condition for its age, with no apparent bead loss. Some of the lavender trim around the flaps is a little worn.. The pouch measures about 7.5" x 7.5" (6" across at the mouth).
