The lot features a beaded hide awl case dating to the early 1900's from the Crow Native American Indians from Montana. The piece shows a typical awl case pattern with parfleche rawhide cone shape, wrapped in Indian tanned buckskin hide with is completely covered in early glass trade seed bead beadwork with a banded geometric pattern. The top flap and bottom fringes have a unique fancy beaded design. The bottom fringe piece has separated from the case itself as shown. The beads include some petit beads and overall the colors are as such: chalk white, red white heart and medium green. The bottom fringe shows rolled brass or copper jingle dangle cone set. The top strap shows a wound glass red white heart bead and some later added hide ties. Overall a nice set. With the bottom fringe the case measures 17.25"L.
