This is an exceptional circa 1870’s beaded and porcupine quilled hide tipi possible bag from the Sioux Native American Indians. The bag shows all Indian tanned hide construction with sinew sewing having all traditional geometric patterns of early period correct 1800’s glass trade seed cen beads along with natural pigment mineral ocher dyed porcupine quill quillwork. The beadwork shows such colors as greasy yellow, cobalt, medium greasy green, red white hearts, and chalk white. The central area of the bag shows a linear pattern of tightly sewn porcupine quills with a natural white, blue, and red coloring in fairly well-preserved condition with slight quill loss. There are several areas in the center with red dyed feather plumes. The beadwork extends with a wide band along both outside edges and along the top flap and shows little to no bead loss. Along the beadwork shows various adornments of Indian tanned hide tied rolled tin jingle cones holding red dyed horsehair. The top still shows the original Indian tanned hide tie straps, a rare addition. The top also shows early ribbon trade clothe ties in green and white, a fine addition. This is truly one of the earliest Tipi possible bag we have offered for sale showing both period correct beadwork, a nice supple hide and early rare quillwork. Provenance: From a large Western Cowboy and American Indian collection in Dayton, Wyoming. Measures overall 20”x18” with additional 12-14” in fringe and ties.
