Description
Small beaded 'jingle' bag with beadwork. On the front, the beadwork has geometric designs in dark yellow, red, dark blue, and pink, on a light blue background. The back has two separate rectangular sections of beading on a pink background stitched together with some blue beaded fill on the right side. The designs are of concentric diamonds in dark yellow, dark blue, green, white, red and blue attached by lines on a pink background. Round metal beads are tied to a length of skin that is threaded through a slot in the flap and attached to the inside of the bag. The end of each tie has a single red seed bead above the knot. The flap and bottom edge are lined with 'tinkle' bells of conical pounded metal. Attached to the top of the bag are two lengths of skin knotted together with more round metal beads.
Narrative
