The beadwork shows a medium blue background with cobalt, greasy yellow, red white heart, medium green geometric patterns. The hide shows remnants of red ocher mineral pigment paint and appears to either be a remnant from a large piece or more likely an unfinished piece itself intended for various pieces such as a war shirt, tipi bag, dress, flat bag, etc.. The piece shows overall good condition with little to no bead loss and supple hide. Measures 14"W x 20.5"L.
