The lot features a first to second quarter, early 20th Century beaded flat tobacco bag or pouch from the Western Dakota Yankton Sioux Indians. The early 1900's bag shows an Indian tanned hide construction with crescent hide flap covered on the front with glass trade seed beadwork in early original beads with a geometric "tab" pattern often seen on Dakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne beadwork of the late 19th to early 20th Century. The beads include colors of greasy yellow, uncommon greasy white, red, semi-transparent green, and cobalt. The beadwork extends around the side border of the bag and the flap has an intricate fancy beaded edge. The bottom of the bag shows thin buckskin, wide hide fringe that ends in rolled tin jingle cone dangles. The bag itself has a yellow ocher/ochre coloring and the back shows the original hide tie strap which is brocken. Measures overall 20" L with the strap and fringe by 5.25" W. The beaded area is 6.5" L from the flap closed to the beginning of the fringe.
