Curator NotesThe small, almost rectangular bag (slightly narrower at bottom) is of loom-woven beadwork, woven in a geometric design recto: diagonal lines in red and ochre from each corner toward the center, where there is a blue diamond with a black grid. On the sides are vertical bands with geometric designs: green with one black cross outlined in white and two white diamonds outlined in red, and black and white interlocking bands. On the verso is a black underwater panther with yellow eyes and nose on white background; at sides are blue stripes with yellow and red diamonds and X's, and black/white scalloped stripe as recto. At bottom, stripe of fine alternating red and blue vertical lines.
