content: From card: "The lower 4 5/8" of the pouch is decorated in beadwork. The design consists of laternating beadwork in green, white, red, and blue crosses, both vertically and horizontally. To the bottom of the pouch is attached a fringe approximately 16" long the upper portion of the fringe being twisted the lower portion hands free. Old tag reads: "16 Fine bag for holding Chaushassa Indian smoking material once owned by American Horse Indian Chief." J. C. Ewers 1978 says this is Cheyenne type. Identified as Cheyenne by Fr. Peter J. Powell based on beadwork style. Also note that there was a Northern Cheyenne Chief American Horse who lived with the Oglalas of Pine Ridge ca. 1881 - 1891 before rejoining the other Northern Cheyenne. - W. Merrill 4-27-1990."
