Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:27403567Tribal Affiliation: Cree
Original Description:
Very rare and very beautiful, ca1890’s Native American Plains Cree Indian Bead Decorated Hide Bag – a smaller Bag repurposed from a Tobacco Bag. This outstanding turn of the 19th century Cree Beaded Bag measures approx. 4 1/2" long and 5 3/4" wide at the beaded panel. The bead decoration is very beautiful and very well preserved.
    It appears that this Bag / Pouch, was made a very long time ago from a section of a Cree Tobacco Bag with the fringe at the bot...tom of the Tobacco Bag removed and the throat of the Bay truncated to create a beautiful “purse-style” bag featuring the beaded panels of the original Tobacco Bag.
    This wonderful Bead Decorated Cree Bag is thread-sewn of soft, brain tanned hide with beautiful, floral designs on both the front and back sides. The beading is executed using colors of red white-heart, pony trader blue, cobalt, greasy yellow, periwinkle, translucent red, pea green, translucent dark green, translucent amber and chalk white. There is a medium blue and periwinkle border on the sides of the Bag and there is a short, hide throat remaining at the top edge which acts as a closure.
    The Cree Beaded Bag offered here is unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. It is NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Plains Cree Bag repurposed from a Tobacco Bag crafted in the late 19th century. The Bag comes with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. It is guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
    This very rare and very beautiful, ca1890’s Plains Cree Bead Decorated Hide Bag is in very good condition. All of the hide elements are well preserved - supple and sound but with soiling as can be seen in the scans below. The beadwork is beautiful and very well preserved with the loss of a small number of beads at the edges of the panels and to the vertical lane border at the left and right hand edges (see the scans below). As stated above, this Bag was crafted from the beaded panel area of a Cree Tobacco Bag – the fringe at the bottom of the Tobacco Bag was removed and the hide throat of the Tobacco Bag truncated leaving a short, soft hid closure at the top of the bag offered here. This repurposing of the Tobacco Bag to form the Pouch offered here happened a VERY long time ago.
    A very rare and very beautiful, ca1890’s Native American Plains Cree Indian Bead Decorated Hide Bag – a smaller Bag repurposed from a Tobacco Bag and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
