Do we have any experts on Native American beadwork bags here??? I would love some other's comments/opinions on this little bag.
Here's what I can offer: it dates to mid 1800s, c.1850-1880, is very fine beads and complete & tight beadwork. It is ONLY 4 3/4 inches long!! There are two unusual "baubbles" at the top ends but it doesn't drawstring close. Was acquired from estate of long time VF collector (she passed away at an elderly age in the early 1960s) who lived in Philadelphia area.
Thoughts about this?? Thanks!
