The bag has a calico trade clothe border at the bottom and fully rope beaded top handle and single fringe being further accented by the full row of long hand cut Indian tanned hide fringe at the base. The bag is in very good well-preserved condition for its age with little to no bead loss and fine beadwork. Provenance: From a large and important American Indian collection in Billings, Montana.
