Sioux Beaded Tobacco Bag 28" overall including a 3" quilled panel and 8" of fringe. Pictorial beaded designs, different on each side, on brain-tanned hide. Early 20th century. $2,000-3,000

Condition

Beadwork is excellent. Quillwork is very faded on one side, showing losses on just one slat. Hide is somewhat discolored but soft and supple. Great overall.
