Cheyenne Case, 1870

A elongated case constructed out of commercial leather and decorated on the recto with sinew-sewn “micro beads.” The opening flap and base seam are decorated with tin cones which are suspended from green stained fringe. The corners are accented with elongated green hide thongs which are ornamented with glass trade beads and tin cones.

Pouches such as these would have typically been suspended from belts and would have served as utility pouches to house a variety of tools, spare parts, etc.

9.5” long and 2.5” wide
