Native American Beaded small tipi bag
This image displays an antique Native American Plains Indian beaded pouch (likely Sioux / Lakota or Cheyenne), traditionally used as a strike-a-light pouch, ration card holder, or personal medicine bag. Crafted from tanned animal hide, the small rectangular pouch is intricately adorned with vibrantly colored glass trade seed beads sewn in a structured, geometric pattern. The beadwork utilizes the traditional lazy stitch (lane stitch) technique, alternating columns of chalk white, sky blue, forest green, and brick red blocks to form a distinct checkered motif. Suspended from the bottom corners are two matching triangular tassels bordered in light blue and filled with horizontal bands of green and dark blue, showcasing the detailed artistry, cultural heritage, and utility of late 19th to early 20th-century Plains beadwork traditions.
