This is an interesting third quarter of the 19th Century hide society pouch flat bag with quilled and beaded design showing a Buffalo Head from the Cheyenne Native American Indians. This example shows an Indian tanned Buffalo hide top with trade tent canvas backing being adorned with porcupine quillwork and beadwork. The front shows two bands of period correct glass trade seed beadwork border on each side in chalk white, red white hearts and cobalt. The beadwork is sinew sewn. The center shows a linear trade thread sewn red porcupine quill design with Buffalo quilled figure at the center in red, green and yellow. The porcupine quillwork is worn, and the hide is stiff. The top of the bag shows hand cut flat fringe, which was also quilled at one point along with a fancy beaded edge and frilly ends. The back of the bag shows an Indian tanned hide belt tie and harness leather belt tie. This is a great transitional piece showing both beadwork and quillwork, likely dating from circa late 1860’s to early 1880’s. There have been a few Buffalo head quilled society pouches over the years similar to this such as the two-example offered by Cowan’s in their September 2002 sale and the example in the Portland Art Museum. Provenance: From a historic Eastern Montana American Indian Collection, where the piece was found to be an authentic original, one of the finest collections of American Indian weaponry and antiquities in Montana. Measures 16”L with strap and fringe by 6.5”W.
