Description

Rectangular pouch. The outside is (loom) beaded with a pattern of diamonds and chevrons in black beads on a background of white beads. The warp is a wide (double?) brown wool and the weft is a tan twisted thread. The wefts all sit atop the warps (strongly suggesting this piece was made on a bead loom, as this is the most basic bead loom stitch).
Constructed with a seam along bottom. The joining seam could not be identified.
The inside is lined in woven fabric with a shepard's check pattern (with alternating wider and narrower lines consisting of diagonal stripes) of blue on beige. The beaded panel folds into the pouch for a width of two rows.
