A native tanned hide pouch which is sinew-sewn with “micro beads”. The pattern consists of a classic triangle-diamond-triangle pattern in white on a pony trader blue ground, executed in a lazy-stitch.

This standard format of bag becomes the canon which becomes commonplace with Apache strike-a-lites in the late 19th century. However, the design and beads speak an earlier generation. This strike-a-lite represents one of the earliest examples of Southern Plains beadwork.
