The lot features an early-to-mid 1900's quilled hide Buffalo Bladder Bag from the Sioux. The bag is accompanied with a collector note placing the piece at circa 1910 and being collected in February 1st, 2021 fro Walnutts. The bag exhibits a large Buffalo / Bison bladder with Indian tanend buffalo hide with small fringes and coverd with a thick parfleche rawhide band that is sinew sewn and exhibits wonderful porcupine quill quillwork. The quillwork is done on the thin parfleche rawhide strips and has a nice spotted or box geometric design in red, purple and yellow. The top of the bat has Indian tanned buffalo hide with a hide tie. The piece was noted as being early 1900 to mid 1900's by Allards back in 2017.

There are a few worn sections of the bladder but overall the piece is well kept. Measures overall 19"H by 8"W.
