 | | Culture | Northeastern | | | | Description | This bag has large shoulder straps with floral designs beaded directly onto the leather; the straps end in octopus tabs. The pouch, also with floral designs, is small with no horizontal panel, and a flap; it is trimmed in light blue piping. The bottom is edged in bells. | | | | Catalog # | 64823 | | | | Accession # | 27301 | | | | Accession Date | 12/26/1985 | | | | Dimensions | | | | | Medium | Glass beads, velvet, leather, silk ribbon, and metal. | | | | Region | Eastern Woodland? | | | | Source | Purchased from Rex Arrowsmith, a trader in Santa Fe, in 1968. Probably from 1880-1920. | | | | Comments | The bandolier bag had no collection history upon arriving at the MPM, and images were sent to experts to determine its origin. Each had a different opinion. A bag quite similar in style was pictured on a Passamaquoddy man, and the blue trim and liberal use of crystal and light blue beads also point in the Maritime direction. |
