The lot features a Crow, Beaded Tobacco Bag from the late 19th Century. This circa 1890’s bag shows an Indian tanned hide with glass trade seed beads in a cross design, using all early, original beads in colors of chalk white, greasy yellow, red white hearts, medium green, cobalt, Cheyenne pink, and more. One side shows a crazy design and the other shows a more solid cross with a banded rectangular border. The bag has a nice, short, hand cut hide fringe border around the entire bottom edge and top, along with a tapered tube flap. The bag is in good condition, with a slightly supple soft to slightly hardening hide. 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 7.75” by 5”W.
