Bag- Antique Iroquois Style

 Iroquois Style Bag

Add this beaded Bag- Antique Iroquois Style to your collection. The artist made the purse from black velvet and finished it with red bias‑tape edging. They used White, Alabaster, Cheyenne Pink, White Center Red, Transparent Turquoise, Periwinkle, Green, Transparent Green, Transparent Amber and Greasy Yellow seed beads to create the classic raised floral designs on both sides. The crafter then added white edge beading around the flap. The edge beading shows noticeable bead loss and you will see sections on both sides where beads have been removed. The bias‑tape edging has deteriorated in several areas. The bag does not include a handle, and a small hole appears beneath the flap.

The bag measures approx. 6.5″ long by 6″ at its widest point.
