Storage bag
| Description: |
Native American bags were often decorated with paint, beadwork, or quillwork with specific tribal designs. These designs sometimes revealed the specific use of the bag, such as a medicine bag or tobacco bag. The craftsperson, usually a woman, made these “possible bags” to hold general items, such as clothing or household accessories. Usually the bags were made as pairs in order to hang over each side of a saddle when moving a camp. This bag, one of two in a set, was created by the Lakota. |
