The lot features a wonderful fully beaded medium to large flat bag from the Flathead Native American Indians of Montana. The piece shows an old Museum Collection tag stating that it is a Flathead Squaw Bag collected in 1962 with two ID numbers. The piece shows an Indian tanned hide construction with early plaid calico trade clothe lining with all glass trade seed glass tube beading in iridescent white, iridescent, red, blue, and green covering the entire surface of the bag. The bottom long cut Indian tanned fringe shows red and blue Czechoslovakian cut tube glass trade beads (sometimes referred to as bugle beads) along with three brass covered metal hawk trade bells. The bag is thought to pre-date the collection date of 1962 from circa early 1900. The bag show very good condition with little to no bead loss. Without the tanned hide handles, the bag measures 15" x 7 3/8".
