About the Item
This exceptional Plains tobacco bag, dating from circa 1850-1880, is a beautiful example of Native American craftsmanship from the Northern Plains. Made from native-tanned elk or buckskin, this bag features a stunning quillwork panel with intricate pictorial cross motifs, a symbolic element in many Plains Indian cultures. The bag is adorned with colorful trade beads in pink, red, green, blue, and white along the opening and edge, adding both beauty and functionality. The fringed bottom further enhances its visual appeal, highlighting the artistry of the time.
