Beaded Bag Iroquois Style
Add this antique Beaded Bag Iroquois Style to your collection! The artist made this purse from black velvet with red bias tape edging. They then used White, Clear, Cheyenne Pink, Red, Transparent Turquoise, Alabaster, Transparent Green, and Greasy Yellow Seed Beads to create floral designs on both sides. Then the crafter added White Pony Bead edge beading around the flap. The edge beading shows apparent bead loss and the bias tape edging has deteriorated in some places. This Bag does not have a handle, some of the stitching is coming apart and one flap is missing.
The bag measures 6.5″ long by 6″ at its widest point. One of a Kind!
