A native tanned hide bag constructed out of mountain sheep(?); the bag is self-fringed and decorated with seed beads and pony beads along the opening, side seams and base. The base beadwork panel consists of a lazy-stitch “checkboard” panel with alternating and green and yellow blocks. The yellow blocks on the outside columns are horizontally bisected with red lines. Beneath this is a loom beaded panel, constructed from the bag’s fringe, interwoven with pony beads which form a central “cross” motif. The opening of the bag consists of four bifurcated tabs which are decorated with white and navy bars. The ears are trimmed with pony beads.

26” long and 5” wide; accompanied by a custom stand
