The lot features a large hide beaded pipe bag with thick, long fringes attributed to the Cheyenne Native American Indians and dating to the early-1900’s to mid-1900’s. The piece shows an Indian tanned, thick Buffalo Bison hide with traditional pipe bag pattern and a long neck with flaring opening, tapering center, and squared end holding long fringes. The beadwork appears to all be original glass trade seed beads in a traditional Cheyenne pattern showing colors of chalk white, greasy blue, greasy yellow, dark green, maroon, and light blue. The bag shows a thick beaded bag opening at the top, which runs from the outside of the bag, around, and all the way into the inside edge. Down each side, running at the outside edge to both sides, are vertical beaded strips that flow into the large fully beaded, around both sides and edges, bottom section. The bottom edge of the bag shows thick, Buffalo Bison Indian tanned hide, long fringes and the same thick hide woven as the tie strap at the top. The bag shows the beadwork pattern, layout style, thick Indian tanned hide, and early greasy seed beads that lend to its 19th Century manufacture but has a mixture of cotton trade thread and sinew sewing with supple soft hide, which dates it as being a later piece as previously stated. This is truly a nice large size bag, in well preserved condition, with very little bead loss, soft supple hide, and a striking appearance. Provenance: The bag is from an old Washington Collection. Measures overall 32” L with the fringes by 7.5” W. The tie strap is an additional 15” L hanging.
