content: Skin bag. Undecorated top, beaded mid section, quill wrapped rawhide strips at the bottom, and seperately attached leather fringe. Glass and metal seed beads. Lazy stitch, white background both sides. 8 pointed star. Similar to cat #241, on page 192 "Hau Kola", except more elaborate: "bead designs retain early forms of triangle, cross, fork, and diamond, as well as incorporate post-1870 forms such as the pronged line. Gilt faceted beads appear in the designs. This is a dating index, as they were especially popular between 1885 and 1895. The triangle design with the forked top has been called by the Teton a 'tipi with clouds.'" Quillwork: red background, 2 rows of three green and yellow concentric rectangles.
