Dakota beaded leather pouch
|
| Description | Small dark brown leather pouch is solidly beaded with lazy-stitched geometric beadwork on the front. The pouch has four sides and is wider at the bottom, and has a semicircular top flap that hangs down in front. The leather is probably commercially tanned and recycled from another use. The beadwork features red, clear, blue, green and black glass beads on a white bead background. Leather thong laced with tin jingle cones fringe the bottom edges of the flap and pouch on both front and back. Two 21-centimeter braided leather tassels are suspended in each of the two bottom corners. The flap can be tied shut with a leather loop and a leather strip laced through the pouch that is decorated with a large animal tooth, probably elk. The lower back side of the pouch is incised with vertical lines. All sewing is done with sinew. Pouch may have been worn at the waist. |
