Antique Lakota Sioux Doctor’s Bag, 19th C Buffalo Hide with Trade Beadwork
By Native American Art
Located in Denver, CO
This antique 19th-century Lakota (Sioux) doctor’s bag is an exceptional example of Plains Indian beadwork artistry, crafted from native-tanned buffalo hide and intricately adorned with Venetian glass trade beads. The beadwork is sinew-sewn and features a vibrant mix of white-hearts, dark blue, greasy yellow, translucent blue, and faceted metal beads, all set against a bright white field for striking contrast.
Both sides of the bag are fully beaded, each showcasing unique traditional design elements such as arrow motifs, crosses, and geometric patterns, symbolizing strength, direction, and protection. The original metal clasp and handle remain intact, further enhancing its authenticity and historic value.
Though referred to as “doctor’s bags,” these pieces were not used for medical purposes. Instead, they were gifted to physicians by Native communities—particularly as tokens of gratitude for care or assistance rendered to tribal members during the late 19th century. As such, they hold both cultural and ceremonial significance.
The Lakota, one of the three major divisions of the Sioux Nation, are a nomadic Plains tribe known for their highly developed beadwork traditions. Residing in the Great Plains across present-day South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming, the Lakota are renowned for creating deeply symbolic and intricately detailed art that reflects their spiritual beliefs, cultural identity, and connection to the land.
This rare beaded doctor’s bag...
