content: A man's leather bag with long fringe possibly made by Native American group from the Prairie tribes near the lower Missouri River. The bag is native tanned and stained yellow with sinew sewn beadwork. Both front and back of the bag are decorated with beadwork. The front has three entirely different floral designs in green, black, blue, brown, and pink glass beads. The middle and upper designs are both missing small sections of beads. The back features two identical designs similar to those on the front. They incorporate the same color beads, but each design uses the beads in a different order. The fringe is slightly stiff and undecorated. There is a thong through the top of the bag and a small section of black fabric sewn down the seam of the bag.
