One of a Kind!
A bag made from Braintanned hide and adorned with quillwork represents a convergence of function, artistry, and tradition. These bags were used to carry personal items, medicines, or sacred objects, and their designs often conveyed tribal affiliations, stories, or spiritual beliefs. The floral motifs—especially those in vibrant colors like red, yellow, and purple—were common  and symbolized growth, harmony, and connection to nature.
