LakotaSioux Beaded Pipe Tobacco Bag
Althoughusually regarded a more typically Cheyenne design, the bar pattern is alsocommon among the Lakota, especially the Oglala of Pine Ridge Reservation, whohistorically have had close ties with the Cheyenne. A distinguishing feature ofLakota, as opposed to Cheyenne bar pattern tobacco bags, however, is thestraight-cut, rolled-edge beaded top as opposed to the more typical Cheyennetab-top design.
Aninteresting feature is the deliberately ‘misplaced’ pink bead in the lowerwhite field of one side, said to be an acknowledgment on the part of the bead-workerthat perfection belongs only to the Creator.
Condition:No bead loss. Small, very minor staining/scuffing to one side. Minor stainingto inside.
Packagingand postage are free, but anyimport/customs charges will be the responsibility of the buyer.
