For sale in this lot is a Lakota Sioux Native American Indian beaded flat bag. The piece is constructed on tanned leather hide, with a decorative trade cloth interior lining. The front side of the bag showcases polychrome trade seed bead work, in a symmetrical geometric motif. The bag utilizes predominantly Cheyenne Pink trade seed beads, but also shows robin egg blue, greasy yellow, chalk white, semi-translucent dark green, red, and dark blue seed beads. The bag is additionally decorated with medium cut tanned hide fringe beaded drops, and a fully beaded carry strap. The bag originates from the mid 1900's, and shows good condition, with no apparent bead loss. The bag (without the additional handle and leather drops) measures 7 1/2" wide, and 9 &/8" tall.
