The lot features an excellent Kiowa Native American Indian beaded strike-a-lite bag dating to the 19th Century. This 1800’s, pre-1890, pouch or bag shows a traditional strike-a-lite pattern displaying a construction of harness saddle leather remnants with Indian tanned hide fringe and beautifully adorned with rolled tin jingle dangle cones, brass trade beads, and geometric traditional seed cen trade beads. The bag shows sinew sewing and 1800’s glass trade seed cen beads in colors of chalk white, red white heart, Cheyenne pink, greasy yellow, greasy green, sky padre light blue. The bag would have held a forged iron strike-a-lite “striker” and flint being on the user’s belt with the Indian tanned hide original top strap. The piece shows nice original patina and is in very good, well-preserved condition, showing little to no bead loss. Provenance: From the largest American Indian Antiquities collection in Montana where it was found to be an authentic pre-1890 example. The bag measures 10 inches long with top belt tie by 3.25 inches wide.
