The lot features an excellent fully beaded hide doctors’ bag from the Lakota Sioux Native American Indians of the 19th Century. The bag shows an Indian tanned hide construction which is covered on all four sides and is sinew sewn. The base shows a parfleche rawhide panel and the top shows an original copper colored metal 1800’s Doctors bag hardware with Indian tanned hide handle at the top. The inside of the bag has a nice floral calico trade clothe lining. The bag dates to the 1890’s and is in very good condition with little to no bead loss. Fully beaded Dr. Bags are exceedingly rare and desirable with this truly being a fantastic example. The beadwork is all 1800’s period glass trade seed beads showing a light blue background with geometric pattern in cobalt, greasy yellow, red white hearts and chalk white. The bag measures 17”L by 9.25”W by 11.5”H.
