Cree Style Antique Pipe Bag Panel

SOLD Don't miss your chance to own this Cree style Antique Pipe Bag Panel!  Looking fabulous for its age, it will be the centerpiece of your beadwork collection! The crafter started with Deerskin leather to make this panel. They used many different color seed beads, and used cotton thread to do the beadwork floral design on one side. The colors include White,  Red, Pink, Light Blue, Amber, Green and Teal. On the other side the crafter beaded a geometric design using Red, Pink, Green, White, Blue, and Yellow.
This Antique Pipe Bag Panel consists of only the beaded panel of the bag.   We believe the crafter created this panel around the late 1800s.  The piece is very dark due to its age.  You will see there are a few beads missing but still in good shape.  This Antique Pipe Bag Panel measures 5.5" wide x 5.5" long.  One of a Kind.
A Native American beaded pipe bag panel is a work of art that embodies the rich cultural traditions and intricate craftsmanship of indigenous. Crafters made these panels from tanned animal hides, such as deer or buffalo.  They decorated them with beautiful beadwork that tells stories or reflects the artist's heritage. Native Americans used  Pipe bags to carry ceremonial pipes, which were important in various Native American rituals and gatherings. The beaded panels not only served as decoration but also as a way to honor and respect the spiritual significance of the pipe and the ceremonies associated with it.
