Included in this lot is a Comanche fully beaded flat bag circa 1870's. This unique bag is fully beaded on both sides with glass trade seed beads with colors of red white-heart, cobalt, greasy yellow, and chalk white. Included is also the original hide drawstring and fringe that goes around the whole bag. Half of the fringe has a red tint, which could possibly be red ocher mineral pigment dyed from an old remnant or repair. This piece could possibly be a tobacco pouch. It is in good condition with its age and measures 5" by 4".
