Antique Native American Iroquois Silk Beaded Hanging Pocket Match Watch Holder

Description

Antique Native American Silk Beaded Hanging Pocket Match or Watch Holder Lovely RARE!
++Update:  I have been informed by an expert that this is Iroquois made - about 1905 on a Mohawk reserve near Montreal
Overall it is in excellent clean condition -
there are some beads that have come off in center bottom
- but they are included.
Measures approx. 6-1/2" high x 4-1/2" widest area.
Front backing is yellow green silk and the back part is like an orange polished cotton, maybe. Sewn on a stiff cardboard from what I can tell.
I'm not sure of the origin of this - I have seen similiar items that are called pocket watch holders and also called match holders. The pocket could accommodate either.
Some of the beads look like they may be trade beads - the beading work is beautiful.
