Description: Ojibwe black wool bandolier bag with loom-woven geometric beadwork panel sewn to the lower half of its front side. The front flap is spot-stitched with a symmetric floral and leaf pattern of beads. A strip of black velvet binds the top edge; all other edges are bound with red tape. Suspended from the bottom of the bag are eleven beaded woven tabs that each terminates in a green and red yarn tassel. The strap consists of two joined lengths loom-woven beadwork; both have the same repeating pattern of crosses and leaves executed in different contrasting colors on backgrounds of two different blues.
