content: Donor Notes: "Kiowa Oklahoma custom-made beaded suede handbag, made by Nettie Standing. Body of bag is of commercial red suede over some kind of foundation. Decoration is 4 narrow strips in faced silver-colored ivory, black, maroon and orange tiny beads running vertically from the bottom of the front flap up and across the top to the bottom of the black of the handbag. There are four silver-colored metal bumpers on the bottom of the handbag and one on each end hiding (and holding) the end of the 1 1/8" wide x 22 1/4" long handle suede handle. A tiny silver-colored metal button on top of a pony bead forms the button at the bottom front for the button-and-loop fastening of the handbag. The lining is red rayon taffeta, and has a side wall pocket. The interior is divided lengthwise by two lining-fabric-covered dividers into three compartments. 1978"
