The lot features a wonderful fully beaded flat bag from the Umatila Native American Indians and dating to the 19th Century. The bag shows a a calico and wool trade clothe construction with red stroud accents having the entire front surface covered in authentic floral glass trade seed beads. The beads show an exceptional beaded design having a central floral pattern which is accented by several leaves making this more of an artwork than a large flat bag. The period correct authentic beads include a semi-transparent amber background which is framed in semi-transparent red white hearts having Cheyenne pink, medium green, sky padre blue, and blue in a floral pattern. The bag shows a large pocket which opens 1/3 of the way down the bag, an unusual and interesting design. The bag shows a nice size for its design being 11 inches tall by 8.75 inches wide. Overall the beadwork is in very fine condition with little to no bead loss. The bag itself shows some wear on the edges and a few spots on the back, but overall displays very well. Provenance: From a Manheim, Pennsylvania collection.
