ANTIQUE PLATEAU NEZ PERCE BEADED FLATBAG, 1ST QTR 20TH CENTURY
Eagle and deer pictorial with animal skin handles, purple velvet back and ticking-type fabric interior lining.
Beading is exceptionally done, and other features show no wear.
One very small area on eagle’s wing is missing a few beads but is hardly noticeable; otherwise the bag is in perfect condition.
I believe this bag was a gift to my grandfather from a Nez Perce woman during the time he was employed with the USFS in Idaho from 1919-1921. He was a ranger in the Clearwater Forest, Northern Idaho and he lived in Kooskia, Idaho, with his wife and baby daughter, my grandmother and my mother.
