22: A CIRCA 1900 SIOUX BEADED TOBACCO BAG WITH DYED QUILL

The Native tanned hide bag is decorated in lazy stitched glass and steel beads fixed with sinew. A wide band of dyed quill wrapping creates two skillfully depicted floating yellow squares on red further trimmed with long trails of hide fringe.
Measures 32 x 7 inches.
Very good condition, noting minor losses and the effects of age within the quill wrap. There are no issues of damage, repair or other losses.
