sinew-sewn and beaded using colors of red white-heart, greasy yellow, pea green, and light and dark blue; tin cone fringe and German silver beads; old collection labels on verso

overall length 11 inches; bag length 5 inches x width 3-1/4 inches

This example is from the Fort Peck Assiniboine-Sioux reserve in Montana.  The beaded tabs, rectangular shape, and long tails are Sioux characteristics, while the central design and spot-stitch technique are usually seen on Assiniboine items (Hanson 1994: 90).
