This white doe skin tobacco bag measures 7 1/4" across and has a full-length measuring about 45 1/2". Of the entire 45 1/2", the bag itself constitutes 24", with the lowest 6" being quill-decorated in red, blue, and white. The next 6" is quill-decorated strips measuring just under 1/4" in width; the colors utilized in this section are orange, purple, blue, red, and white. The final 15 1/2" are fringed leather. The top of the bag is finished with blue and red seed beads, and there is a 10" thong tie at one end. CONDITION: there is minor staining to the body of the bag. The quillwork does show what appears to be insect damage. The colors of the quills have faded slightly but still make a vivid impression. The fringe is generally intact and supple. The beaded top edge appears complete. The interior edge has a number (01074) that has been recently added in ink.(02-23588/BF). $3,000-5,000.
