This 23 x 13.5 bag is constructed from hand-sewn sections of rawhide and features a large geometric design beaded with raspberry red, purple, blue, yellow, and green seed beads onto a light blue background. The side panels of the bag also feature beadwork in raspberry red, blue, white, green, and yellow beads. The cover flap, designed with holes to loop short leather ties through, is also has green, yellow, white, and raspberry red beadwork. Small metal cones with dyed yellow horse hair tassels also adorn the side panels and cover flap. It appears that about 13 of these cone tassels are missing, and there are small runs of missing beads throughout the work on the bag. The bag shows small multicolored stains, that almost appear to be from ink or the bleeding of dyes. An interesting item from the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection. Wovoka Collection HKA#63102
