Beaded Cheyenne Style Bag

Small Cheyenne Style Beaded Bag

This Beaded Cheyenne Style Bag is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship. It was created on soft brain‑tanned deer skin and decorated with a bold geometric design. The crafter used lazy stitch beadwork to form the pattern. They used white, transparent red, transparent green, black, and turquoise seed beads to achieve strong contrast and classic Cheyenne‑style balance. The bag measures 5″ x 3.75″.

The bottom edge flap is edge‑beaded with turquoise seed beads, adding a clean, finished frame to the piece. You can still see the remaining lace once used to tie the top flap closed, a small detail that speaks to its age and authentic use. Though this bag has been carried, it remains in good condition for its age, with the beadwork and leather showing the kind of gentle wear expected from a well‑kept historic item.

Perfect for collectors, educators, and anyone who appreciates traditional Native‑inspired artistry, this bag stands out as both a display piece and a meaningful example of cultural craftsmanship.

One of a Kind.
