The lot features a late-18th century to early-19th century polychrome painted Indian hide puzzle pouch / puzzle bag with tacked scrimshaw engraved powder horn from the Great Lakes Woodlands tribes. The bag is comprised of Indian tanned hide with a split thong top, an attribute that ingeniously extended from the top to form a puzzle-lock that kept the bag closed. The bags were thought to have been influenced by the French as many bags were documented near missions where the French first established. Sometimes these pouches are referred to as puzzle tobacco bags or puzzle bags. The pouch also exhibits old green trade clothe stroudedging and the front shows a polychrome mineral pigment painted diamond pattern in red and green, a truly ealry and nice example. The powder horn shows a late-1700's to early 1800 example showing a carved turned wood cap with copper worked ring hook. This shows a steer horn with deep, rich dark yellow coloring from honest age and use with a band of old 1800's solid brass square shank fur era trade tacks.
