Description
Woman's beaded belt with attached tobacco pouch, awl sheath and knife sheath. Beadwork design on the belt includes crosses, squares, lines and diamond shapes in green, yellow, purple and pink on a white ground. Lined on the back with a plaid fabric. Sheath has a fringe down one side and diagonal line beadwork decoration on the front, in the same colours as the belt. The awl sheath has a skin fringe at top and bottom, and the drawstring pouch, with scalloped top, has beading on the bottom section in mustard yellow, turquoise, red, and navy designs, on a white ground.
Specific Techniques
The hide of the attachments appears to be goat or sheep skin as it's too thin to be deer skin.
