Very rare and beautiful, ca1890’s Native American Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Buffalo Hide Possible / Tepee Bag. This original, late 19th century Sioux Beaded Hide Tepee / Possible Bag measures approx. 10 1/2" by 10" and features outstanding, all over, bead decoration.
This wonderful, Sioux Indian Bag is sinew sewn by hand with beadwork decoration covering the entire outer surface featuring traditional Sioux geometric designs. The beadword is executed using... colors of red white-heart, white, cobalt blue and faceted steel on a medium blue field. The flap closure features a repeating, tepee design. The Bag is not shaped like a typical Tepee bag but rather more like a large, flat Possible bag although it was described as a Tepee Bag by the previous owner..
The Tepee / Possible Bag offered here is unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. It is NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Sioux Bag crafted in the third quarter of the 19th century. The Bag comes with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. It is guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
This very rare and original, ca1890’s Sioux Bead Decorated Buffalo Hide Possible / Tepee Bag is in very good condition. There is a small hole at the center of the bottom edge of the back side of the Bag and some very old, thread repairs at the bottom seam. The Bag retains its original rawhide thong closures as can be seen in the scans below. The beadwork is beautiful with some minor loss on the front panel and a bit more loss on the rear (see the scans below). Overall, this outstanding 19th century Tepee Bag is well preserved and displays beautifully!!
A very rare and stunningly beautiful, ca1890’s Native American Sioux Bead Decorated Hide Tepee / Possible Bag and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
