This is a scarcely seen all quill worked and dyed fetish medicine bag. The mother would have put the Umbilical Cord in this bag and hung it around the warrior child's neck. The child would wear this until he was of age to be a man and would tear it off his neck (important ceremony). The piece is from the Sioux Native American Indians and is on an Indian tanned hide. Mid 20th century. Measures 2.25"x4.5".
