Dakota pouch
|
| Description | Handmade Dakota pouch constructed of navy blue felted wool with a buckskin panel at center. The buckskin is worked in a bird motif using dyed red, blue, white, black and orange quills. Above the pouch opening, on the back side, is a projection with two ear-like flaps edged in white, green and blue glass seed beads. Conical metal jingle ornaments (tinkler cones) dangle from the fringe on the front panel and from the bottom of the pouch. Traces of an applied bird skin remain on the front of the pouch. A strip of calico cotton serves as a shoulder strap and is tied to the pouch. The pouch was obtained by Captain Charles J. Stees of the 6th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G, at Wild Goose Lake, Minnesota, during the 1862 U.S. - Dakota War. |
